(ASCEND) was... static IP for NAT? is... still not clear

[fred@pepperwood.com (Fred Horton (fred@HH.pepperwood.com))]

Several digest messages ago, a question about NAT came up

>Exactly!


I don't think the original question was answered.

I understand that the ISP can make their side randomly assign the same IP
every time.  But what about if I (the customer) wants to take the fixed
addresses assigned to me, and build in NAT support using one for the Pipeline
WAN side interface?

Where do I put this address in the configuration tables?
