Gladston, you have it. It translates the source "172.16.0.2" to "224.0.0.9".
But as you said such a packet does not exist. So no issues here.
Now think the other way around. In this direction the destination will be
translated from "224.0.0.9" to "172.16.0.2",

Subject: NAT Outside

There is this example at Cisco Lab Press book:

int fa 0/0
 ip ad 172.16.0.1
 ip nat outside
!
ip nat outside source static udp 172.16.0.2 520 224.0.0.9 520
!
end

The goal is to unicast RIP packets instead of broadcast it to the multicast
address 224.0.09. I implemented it and it works really nice. What I would
appreciate is any tip about the interpretation of a "nat outside" statement
when reading it.

At the first glance I would say that this example would translate source
address whit IP 172.16.0.2 to 224.0.0.9 when the packet goes from outside to
inside; ok, it would really does it if there was a response for RIP updates,
which is not the case.

Is there a logical way to think about it? or just memorize?
