[flow-tools] reports considerations with NAT

    Not quite as easy as you make it sound.  I've just spent 2 weeks banging
my head against this, and I think I've finally got it licked, but not sure
yet.

    Anyway, NAT happens before Netflow, so it will only record the global
addresses.  What I did to get around this was this:

Netflow on ATM1/0.2

NAT inside on Loopback0

NAT outside on other interfaces

route-map nat-loop permit 10
 match ip address 152
 set interface Loopback0

And on ATM1/0.2:
    ip policy route-map nat-loop

    Anyway, it seems to be doing the NAT correctly and recording some flow
info.  But we'll see how it continues.

    :)
