Configuration Examples for Network Object NAT
DNS Server and FTP Server on Mapped Interface, FTP Server is Translated (Static NAT with DNS Modification)

Figure 4-6 shows an FTP server and DNS server on the outside. The ASA has a static translation for the

outside server. In this case, when an inside user requests the address for ftp.cisco.com from the DNS

server, the DNS server responds with the real address, 209.165.201.10. Because you want inside users

to use the mapped address for ftp.cisco.com (10.1.2.56) you need to configure DNS reply modification

for the static translation.

Figure4-6 DNS Reply Modification Using Outside NAT
Step1 Create a network object for the FTP server address:
ciscoasa(config)# object network FTP_SERVER
Step2 Define the FTP server address, and configure static NAT with DNS modification:
ciscoasa(config-network-object)# host 209.165.201.10
ciscoasa(config-network-object)# nat (outside,inside) static 10.1.2.56 dns
ftp.cisco.com
