Description

Although it is VERY rarely necessary, we should add a banner to the top of the 1:1 NAT page notifying end users that they have just 1:1 NAT'ed the WAN interface address and this is usually not recommended due to connectivity issues for dpinger, IPSec, etc. that may occur. Often we see users 1:1 NAT their WAN address out of lack of experience/understanding. Additionally, this should be useful if there was a way to verify against an HA member as well or CARP VIP as it can sometimes be easy to forget that your secondary unit is using the 1:1 NAT address you just configured on the primary and pushed it to the secondary (which then causes gateway monitoring to fail on that interface).
