The key is detecting the path failure to remove the route.
If it's a serial in the lab it will come down if you pull the
cable or is the keepalives timeout.

Think of it this way: you route first and then nat going in to out.

So if you move the routing your NAT will change based on the match
in the route-map.

Let us know how it goes.

I haven't had time to figure out the NVI stuff as it may change
that concept just a little about the in/out route first stuff.
