Cisco ASA Series Firewall ASDM Configuration Guide
Chapter 4 Configuring Network Object NAT (ASA 8.3 and Later)
Configuration Examples for Network Object NAT
When an inside host sends a DNS request for the address of ftp.cisco.com, the DNS server replies with
the mapped address (209.165.201.10). The ASA refers to the static rule for the inside server and
translates the address inside the DNS reply to 10.1.3.14. If you do not enable DNS reply modification,
then the inside host attempts to send traffic to 209.165.201.10 instead of accessing ftp.cisco.com
directly.
