Subject: SNAT before IPSEC - why?
Date: Fri, 07 Oct 2011 22:08:04 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E8FB084.6030807@earthlink.net> (raw)

Hi,

What is the reasoning for having SNAT happen before ipsec encryption?

It forces one to add special rules in the NAT table to keep this from 
happening and
I can't think of one reason why you would want it to be this way.

Please someone enlighten me.

Thanks,
Steve
