Hi,

is there any "plan" (flow diagram or something) how packets are
travelling through the PIX (7.x) and how certain decisions (NAT, Policy
etc.) are made? This would be very interesting, especially in
combination with VPN tunnels...

Regards,
Markus

Your question is quite loaded. You should get yourself of the new 'Cisco ASA
and PIX Firewall Handbook'. There are many diagrams about how xlates, conns,
and ACLs are used in verifying traffic.
