I was just going over ios nat and came across something in my notes that
does not make sense any longer (how often does that happen)
 
When doing policy static nat in IOS, what is the reversible keyword for?
 
ip nat inside source static 1.1.1.1 2.2.2.2 route-map rm1
 
or 
 
ip nat inside source static 1.1.1.1 2.2.2.2 route-map rm1 reversible
 
I know with dynamic policy nat, this allows traffic to originate from the
outside as well, but on a static translation this is already allowed. I
performed a test, the first one without the reversible keyword. I was still
able to come from the outside -> in. And I saw the same results with the
reversible keyword used. Does the reversible keyword have a different
purpose for statics? Or does this command have no affect on statics?
