Thanks Daniel. Good to hear of someone using NAT for DNS traffic. My fears of it are mostly performance-based--every DNS query takes up a new entry in the ACE's NAT table. In our case, that's thousands of queries per second that the ACE has to keep in memory. I've shown it to be a slight (25% or so) performance hit in terms of max queries/second.

At this point, these are recursive-only servers, so I'm not even worried about zone transfers--that piece of the project comes next! The rservers will be doing a bunch of outbound queries, however, and using their real addresses for that.

I've not bothered with nat - just place rservers with unique addresses
behind the ACE, let them use the ACE as their default gateway, and then
publish a vip.  The rservers use their real address for zone transfers with
the master, while clients only talk with the vip address.
