Yes good explanation Dave. I unicast Muhammad the same input of how this
works and the documentation as well.

What most do not understand is NAT is handled on the highest level interface
not the destination interface/network. So doing a catch all of 0 0 implies
that all traffic entering the inside interface from the hosts on the
insde needs to be translated going to ANY lower security level interface. In
the document CD it explains this in detail knowing the bahavior and
direction in which NAT is applied. And most labs only have a single network
or two that are going to hit a lower security interface such as outside or
dmz. In the real world this might not be the case and it does get extremely
complicated quickly.

Which is the point of getting your CCIE in security is it not? :-)
