Chapter 3 Information About NAT (ASA 8.3 and Later)
DNS and NAT
Figure 3-28 shows an FTP server and DNS server on the outside. The ASA has a static translation for
the outside server. In this case, when an inside user requests the address for ftp.cisco.com from the DNS
server, the DNS server responds with the real address, 209.165.20.10. Because you want inside users to
use the mapped address for ftp.cisco.com (10.1.2.56) you need to configure DNS reply modification for
the static translation.
