the infamous "static" versus "nat"

[Vahid Pazirandeh <vpaziran () yahoo com>]

Hi All.  Great mail list btw, thanks to everyones input.

Two basic questions.

1. I've heard the convention of using "static" for low-to-high NATing and
"nat/global" for high-to-low.  Why?

2. Would someone explain the underlying differences in these two commands?  Do
they achieve the same thing?  Assume net1 = 10.1.1.0/24, net2 = 10.2.2.0/24.

A. static (net1, net2) 10.1.1.0 10.1.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
B. static (net2, net1) 10.2.2.0 10.2.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0

Cheers!
