If you're using static PAT to map incoming sessions to an internal resource on an ASA like this:



Are you limited to ~65k inbound connections to that server based on the number of source ports used in the ASA as it translates and passes the traffic along to the server? (Assume connections are coming from multiple external hosts.)

I thought about this a bit more and I think that the source IP and port are preserved in this configuration so there is no limit of 65k source ports in the ASA. So you could, in theory, have many more than 65k connections to the internal server from external hosts.

Right?
