Default NAT to someone elses external IP
Hello
I am setting up a VPN tunnel between my CP box, and a business partners PIX.

The requirements are we need to connect to them on a single port to pull data. This connections occurs every 10 minutes or so.

All this is fine……..except when the business partner asks that I NAT my internal IP to one of THEIR external IP addresses. Has anyone heard of this? And why would someone want to do this? And what types of security risks are present when doing this?



Thanks
