Good Morning Folks,

Long-time lurker and user of nfdump /nfsen here, as always huge kudos to Peter 
for the tools.

I'm interested in any experience people have using nfdump to record NAT 
translations, we've recently invested in new border firewalls which finally 
provide us with a unified point for NAT.

Juniper SRX firewalls will export flow information in structured syslog which 
contains all useful information, I'm happy to write a tool to convert between 
that and NetFlow/IPFIX.

However I'm interested in nfdump's ability to store/search/display "unusual" 
fields. I can see from the IPFIX assignments, IPFIX elements 225 
"postNATSourceIPv4Address" and 227 "postNAPTSourceTransportPort" are suitable 
for storing the required information.

Can the nfsuite store this information and search upon it, or am I looking at a 
fairly large re-engineering project to do so? A quick inspection of the 
ipfix_element_map_s struct in ipfix.c suggests that we can't out of the box? 
With this I suspect there would be changed to the on disk structure and a few 
changed to the query language?

Kind regards,

Peter.
