I have an urgent PIX Change to do.

I have been asked to add a static translation to a PIX. I have a public
range on the outside of the PIX which has been further subnetted to give me
public addresses on the inside as well.

The public addresses on the outside have all been used with various static
(inside,outside) translations for LAN hosts which are reachable via a next
hop router on the inside Interface of the PIX.

The inside public address of the PIX also has a number of static
translations, these have the affect of natting the inside public addresses
to themsleves, so that it is unchanged on the outside of the Firewall.

I need to translate a new LAN host behind my inside router. As my Public
addresses on the outside of the PIX are all used, can I use one of the
Public addresses on the inside interface ?

I don't believe I can but any urgent clarification would be really
appreciated.

Yes, if you have an available address in the public range you
use on the inside, then you have no problem. If the IP address of the
new host is in the public range, then just follow exactly the same
way as for the existing public range. If the IP address of the new
host is in a different range, then just

static (inside,outside) PUBLICIP INSIDEIP netmask 255.255.255.255

and then in your access-list for the outside interface, refer to
the PUBLICIP. In this situation, you -might- need to

route inside INSIDEIP 255.255.255.255 INSIDEROUTERIP

if you do not already have a route that moves that interior address
range towards the router.
