You'll have an issue with PAT as ESP protocol 50 doesn't function like
TCP or UDP in terms of ports. Your description doesn't indicate if the
827 is doing one-to-one NAT or PAT. It should work with one-to-one NAT.

If there's nothing else on the segment between the 827 and the Netscreen,
consider reconfiguring the 827 to not NAT and let the Netscreen handle
NAT, or at least use one-to-one NAT on the 827.
