//snip//
When running ios version 12.1.5.T7 on a 3600 series router and running nat
with a large static nat traslation table and a single address nat pool with
overload, dynamic nat translation may intermittantly hang. The workaround
for this problem is to clear the nat translation table which will restart
the dynamic nat process.
//snip//

there are similar bug (this being the closest). and all of them states clear
ip nat trans * as a work around.
You could raise TAC if you still have issues.

ps. you could tweak those timeouts to a bit less and see if that alleviates
the issue

Nick,
Thanks.
We already upgraded the IOS and tried clearing NAT table with "clear ip nat
tran * " but that didn't help.

ps:
relevent portions of config are:

outside interface - serial 1/0
inside interface - FastEther 1/0 and async65

!
ip local pool classpool 10.49.67.130 10.49.67.254
ip nat translation timeout 3600
ip nat translation tcp-timeout 3600
ip nat pool aod x.y.z.67 x.y.z.70 netmask 255.255.255.248
ip nat inside source list 1 pool aod overload
ip classless
