I would like to migrate my current web farm behind a couple of PIX firewalls. However i can't find a way so that a NAT can translate to more than one IP. The Loadbalancing IP or Virtual IP and the rest of the Front End IPs on all the servers. Do you think a PAT would work for this? If someone has done this before and knows of a solution, throw me a bone, i would greatly appreciate it.

I'm still not 100% sure of what you are trying to do from reading your description. If you have multiple inside servers and several need to serve a function for inbound traffic, AND you only have one outside IP to use, then you can do static PAT statements.
I have found this page very helpful when setting up unique NAT and PAT situations:

I apologize for the way i asked the question but yes, you got me 100%! I have multiple web servers that need to respond to inbound traffic and i only have ONE IP to use. Awesome, thanks for the TIP Kevin! I'm going to look into using the static PAT statements. Thanks for the URL.
