This summary is delayed, but I did not get too many notes on this one.
I did get a number of "me too" or "I'm gonna do that, too" replies.
Two replies of note:
One from William lavery:
> Make sure you get all the patches. There are a few patches. And be
careful with assigning NAT in object.
> Assign it through the rule base. I was told that problems could arise.
Yep, been there, done that on the NAT stuff, but we did get that figured out
here.
Another from Sebastian Masso:

Good advice, and a little note of what to watch for.
Thanks, all.
