Hi everyone, I would appreciate a little help. The scenario is as follows: There is a central site that has a server called Nate. It has an ip address of 179.x.x.x. On the other side of a frame relay link is the branch office. They want the server to appear local on their branch office network, but they want both the source and destination addresses protected across the frame. Basically, we have a nat statement to to change both source and destination address by saying ip nat inside source static 134.x.x.x 220.x.x.x ip nat outside source static 134.x.x.x 179.x.x.x the problem is when a packet travels from the inside to the outside, routing occurs first, so we need a static route (ip route 134.x.x.x x.x.x.x 200.x.x.x) to get to the next hop. Is there any way I can force the router to translate first and then route, in order to eliminate the static route?
