What do you mean when NAT runs out it uses PAT? If you're using PAT, then
it is used upon configuration. How many addresses are in your pool? If you
only need 120 addresses, then why not just configure a x.x.x.x/25 pool and
eliminate PAT if it is an issue? The main issue with PAT is if your pool is
too large, you could run out of memory to maintain the list of all
translations if everyone connected at once.
