When you have two routers at a client location and they are using HSRP is it ever okay to use the same Stateful Nat id?
I am not at work right now so I can’t grab any parts of a config, however to my understanding when you are using SNAT you always must make sure the two routers are using different stateful nat id’s. In a case I’ve found we have two routers at a client location taking back to our host routers over two different ISP’s. They are using HSRP in the event one client router loses the tunnels over the ISP but have the same Stateful Nat id. They see each other as SNAT peers, but I’m not so sure they will be able to share the snat tables properly with the same Id. Does anyone know if it is ever okay to use the same SNAT id when using HSRP to control failover?

Here is a link where they used the same ID. http://jr-computerlabs.blogspot.com/2009/10/stateful-nat-with-hsrp-snat.html
Here is a link where cisco says they need to be unique.
"Note: id-number is a unique number given to each router in the stateful translation group. Each SNAT router should have a unique ID number. "

It looks like you can use the same stateful ID if using HSRPis that correct?
