I want to perform hiding NAT for inbound packets coming in from the
Internet so that their source address is translated to be the Firewall's
internal address.

When I try to add the NAT rule:

Orig Src: Any
Orig Dst: All-Internal-Networks
Orig Svc: Any

Trans Src: = internal-hiding-address(h)
Trans Dst: = Original
Trans Svc: = Original
Comment: Hide inbound connections behind Firewall

the rulebase fails compilation with the error message:

"Invalid <Any> in Source of Address Translation Rule 3.
<Any> is valid only if the matching translated column is <Original>"

However, I _can_ add a hiding NAT rule which uses a network object or a
network group as the source, so I can't see why Any should cause a
problem - isn't Any just an extreme case of "many addresses" which already
works?

I guess I could define a network object:

Name: all-ip-addresses
IP: 0.0.0.0
Mask: 0.0.0.0

And then use that as the source.  But I shouldn't really need to do this.

Any ideas on this one?  Has anyone else been bitten by this?

I'm using Firewall-1 V4.0 SP4 on NT 4.0 SP4 on Intel platform.
