I have set up NAT on the border router, so the outside network can remote desktop to a computer in the inside network.
This is working fine. Configuration as below:
interface fa0
ip nat inside
interface fa1
ip nat outside
ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.1.100 3389 64.101.1.25 3389 extendable
Now, I want to fine tune this NAT, so the traffic to the RDP (terminal server) will have a source IP of my border router's internal interface. How shall I configure?
Thanks!

As far as i am aware you cannot use PAT for outside to inside on a router. You can use a NAT pool to translate outside addresses to ie.
ip nat pool OUTIN 172.16.10.1 172.16.10.254 netmask 255.255.255.0
ip nat outside source list 101 pool OUTIN
access-list 101 permit tcp any host 64.101.1.25 eq 3389
You can make the pool as big as you want but this still may not be any use to you. It depends on how many different source IP's will be RDP'ing to the server at one time.
If you do try this don't forget that your internal network needs to know where to route the traffic for 172.16.10.x to ie. back to your border router.
