If the 2821 have the CPU more than 70% the Router will not go well.

Is possible that you have a lot of translations in the NAT table (you can clear table with "clear ip nat t *"), you have to avoid have a table very long.

- You have to upgrade the IOS router at least to 12.4(10).

- Limit the total translation in the router with "ip nat translation max-entries xxx"

- Limit the timeout of protocols (like icmp, tcp,..)

- Limit the timeout of dangerous ports (like tcp 4662,..)

You must be sure that the host 10.1.1.1 don't have worms.
