Yes, they recently invented "one-click NAT" - I've forgotten the actual
syntax, but it's something that is configured on the outside interface
*only*, and is much less flexible in what you can do with it.

I can only wonder what made them implement this - propably too many computer 
magazines complaining that "cisco IOS is too complex to manage!!!".

hardware but cannot fully use it" etc.>
