[c-nsp] NAT "add-route" functionality

All:

When using the "add-route" keyword with outside NAT, the next hop of the static route that is created is the original (untranslated) outside address.

How frustrating for people who use NAT to separate overlapping address domains.

It would be great if you could specify the next-hop address, like:

ip nat outside ..... add-route next-hop 192.168.1.1


Inside-to-outside is supposed to do the route-lookup first, then translate.  So in a way add-route breaks this by requiring the router to do a route-lookup (through recursion) on an address it would not normally do a route-lookup for.

Unless I'm missing something here... anybody?
