RE: [fw-wiz] PIX for VPN and NAT?Beware
Check the CISCO web site, we had a problem with the NAT not properly
supporting FTP. It was a bug in the 12.X IOS and we had to downgrade the IOS
to a previous, good system 11.x IOS

  Yes,  the PIX is quite capable of using NAT, PAT (port address
translation) and VPN setup/teardown all on the same box.   Certainly there
are issues to watch out for - specifically performance.  If you have a lot
of remote users doing VPN simultaneously you'll want plenty of memory and a
good speed system.

  Thanks,

  Ian

  Has anyone used a PIX for both VPN and NAT at the same time?

  I've got the typical Class-A behind a PIX, but would like to support
  VPN coming in thru the same unit.  It seems like it should work, but I
  doin't want to go down a path if others have seen it has a dead end.

  Thanks,
