Darren,
   I seem to remember someone in the TAC had once come up with a really
kludgy way to do this (i.e. you should think of a better design to meet
your needs) but it went something like this:

- policy routing in junction with the use of loopbacks
- ip nat inside on the incoming interface
- policy route the traffic to a loopback
- ip nat outside on a loopback
- policy route the traffic back out the incoming interface. You may need
to use a second loopback to do this, I can't recall the exact method or
order of events (I had asked for the config but never received it, it
might not have worked).

Again, I would never suggest anyone ever do this but it is an interesting
exercise in "creative" ways you can do things with Cisco routers. Anyone
up to the challenge in figuring it out? I'll buy lunch as the prize for
the first person that gives me a working solution. Of course, you have to
be coming to RTP for the lab in order to collect... ;-)
