[Repost from "Internet Security Appliances" form I first posted it erroneusly, sorry].

Should the Edge X device be able to NAT nodes from LAN for connections going through an enterprise vpn ?

Edge X, fw 6.0.74, connected to a NGAIR55 smartcenter with libsw 6.0.81.
Lan network is 10/8 (customer, don't ask), DMZ port is 172.19.29/24. Local vpn endpoint are a couple of NGAIR55 nokia modules running vrrp. Local network is 172.18.1/24.
In smartcenter following is defined:
- the local nokia cluster object, encryption domain manual, contains 172.18/16 and other networks (no 10 network)
- the edge object, encryption domain manual, contains 172.19.29/24
- a nat rule 10/8->172.18.1/24 port any, translate to 172.19.29.200(hide)->original port original, install on "the Edge configuration container"
- relevant security rules permitting traffic, install on "the nokia cluster object"

When trying to connect from a node on the physical dmz port network (real IP 172.19.29.x) tunnel comes up normally, all ok.

When trying to connect from a LAN 10/8 node to a 172.18.1 node (source should be hide-natted to 172.19.29.200) tracker has these logs:
- Ike Main mode completition
- Ike quick mode completition for 172.28/16 and <edge public ip address>
- Ike quick mode completition for <edge public ip address> and 10/8 (which is not mentioned in any encryption domain)
- Ike quick mode completition for 172.18/16 and 10/8
- drop <10 node ip>-><172.18 ip> "encryption failure: Cannot identify peer for encrypted connection (VPN Error code 04)"
but no quick mode for 172.19/29 and 172.18/16 (and the connection fails).

"info nat" on Edge does not show any entry.
I also tried to nat the lan nodes on a network different than the dmz port, (with correct encryption domains), doesn't work either.
I also tried nat 10/8->any (always nat) and so on, never seemd to be used, as if nat is ignored if the traffic goes into a tunnel.

Is there any solution to this, am I doing something wrong ? Performing nat on the central endpoint would create loads of conflict due to that 10/8 network.
Is this kind of configuration even supported on the edge X series ? Possibly with v7 firmware ?

Thanks
