We don't have fragmented packets. I checked all the caveats. You missed my 
point. I'm very aware of the restrictions with conflicting flowmasks, etc. 

The problem is that the hardware assisted NAT uses netflow to insert a custom 
tcam entry that doesn't get aged out. In other words, NDE will never work, no 
matter the configuration, no matter the design if NAT is configured on the same 
interface. This is not documented in any Cisco publication.

"Note the following information about hardware-assisted NAT:
[...snip...]
-When you configure NAT and NDE on an interface, the PFC3 sends all traffic in 
fragmented packets to the MSFC3 to be processed in software. (CSCdz51590)"

When looking up this bugID, I get some foo about "contains proprietary 
information that cannot be disclosed at this time".
