DNS and NAT
Step 4 Create a network object for the inside IPv6 network, and configure dynamic NAT with a PAT pool.

hostname(config-network-object)# nat (inside,outside) dynamic pat-pool IPv4_POOL
PTR Modification, DNS Server on Host Network
The following figure 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 performs a reverse DNS lookup for
10.1.2.56, the ASA modifies the reverse DNS query with the real address, and the DNS server responds
with the server name, ftp.cisco.com.
