Err- cleaned up; (fixed 192.168.1/2.x = 192.168.1.0/24 throughout the
example)

Or equivalent commands, but you'll get the logic; I have used (but would
rather avoid) EEM & running config changes on the fly as a result of sla/track
failures, but if you want to see that solution instead I can work it up.

Interface f0/0
Ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
Ip nat inside

Interface loop100
Ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.252
No ip nat inside

ip sla monitor 1
type echo protocol ipIcmp 192.168.1.50 source 192.168.1.1
frequency 10
ip sla monitor schedule 1 life forever start now

ip sla monitor 2
type echo protocol ipIcmp 192.168.1.52 source 192.168.1.1
frequency 10
ip sla monitor schedule 2 life forever start now

Track 1 rtr 1 reachability
Track 2 rtr 2 reachability

Ip route 192.168.1.50 255.255.255.255 10.1.1.2 254
Ip route 192.168.1.52 255.255.255.255 10.1.1.2 254

Ip route 192.168.1.50 255.255.255.255 f0/0 192.168.1.50 track 1
Ip route 192.168.1.52 255.255.255.255 f0/0 192.168.1.52 track 2

ip nat pool webmailservers prefix-length 24 type rotary

address 192.168.1.50 192.168.1.50

address 192.168.1.52 192.168.1.52

ip nat inside destination list webmailonatt pool webmailservers

! Note this ACL contains the 1 public IP inbound traffic comes to

ip access-list standard webmailonatt

 permit 12.207.43.148

bottom line, nat won't happen for the external as when track obj's are down
the ip is routed to a loopback that is not ip nat inside. You could monitor

other things, like tcp port 80, an http get, etc.

thanks all,

It is with only one Router , so hope NAT / Redundancy with HSRP will not match
the requirement.

Now customer agreed to have both Servers as active/active , So i have checked
the NAT with rotary type in a lab environment , but still i am facing an issue
that even one server is down router is trying to translate to that down server
and send traffics . so it is failing 50 %.
How can it be solved ? can anyone advise me...

Regards,
Anbu.

Anbu,

David's recommendation is a pretty good one, but you can do NAT / Redundancy
using HSRP, if you need a lab Unicast me and i will send you one.

What you really want to do is load balancing or clustering. NAT is not the
correct mechanism for this, and you would be better off doing Windows
clustering (assuming it's a windows box), or some other form of cluster
server app. That's if you don't have a LB type device.

As a last resort you could do EEM...
