ASA 5525 NAT logic: connection initiator source matters here?

[MicJameson1]

Hello.

"object network SERVER1
nat (dmz,Outside) static 1.1.1.1"

If the connection is initiated from the Outside to the DMZ , and the Outside ACL allows this traffic, will this circuit connect, or will it fail because there is needed an additional NAT rule?

Thank you.

@MicJameson1 that'll work. Traffic sent to the nat ip of 1.1.1.1 will be untranslated to the private IP address of the DMZ server.

You'd obviously need an ACE in the ACL to the private (real) IP address of the server to permit the traffic.
