Configure outbound dynamic network address translation (NAT) on the Sun Secure Application Switch.
Dynamic NAT translates multiple private addresses to a single public address. This means that one global public address can be used for a range of real IP addresses in the backend network.
Since dynamic NAT supports many backend server real IP addresses that map to a single global address, dynamic NAT must also translate the ephemeral port in each outbound request and maintain state information for each TCP connection.
