Problem Configuring NAT on ASA 5500 tman 06-19-08

I am learning how to configure an ASA 5500. I am having a problem
with NAT.

It is my understanding that traffic will pass from a more secure
interface to a less secure interface by default. I wanted hosts on
the Inside interface to be able to ping hosts on both the Dmz and the
Outside interfaces. The security levels are:
Inside 100
Outside 0
Dmz 50

I added ICMP to the Class inspection_default

nat by default was:

global (outside) 1 interface
nat (inside) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

I added nat (dmz) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

I can ping hosts on the Outside interface from the Dmz.
I cannot ping hosts on the Outside interface.

Looks like, with my dim understanding of this, I missed something.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks

I figured out what the problem was by using that cool tool in the
ASDM, the Packet Tracer. It showed what access-list was stopping the
ping. It was the implied deny any at the end of the access-list that
I had, incorrectly, on the indside interface to allow dns from the
hosts on the dmz. It should have been on the dmz interface.

nat (dmz) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

needs to change to

nat (dmz) 2 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
global (outside) 2 interface
