Yes and no.

If you are hiding traffic behind an IP address that is not in the same
subnet as the outside interface then NO. As long as you have a route for
that network or host that points from your internet router to the firewall
that will suffice.

If you are hiding traffic behind the IP of your firewall outside interface,
then again the answer is no.

If you are hiding traffic behind an IP address that is in the same subnet as
the outside interface but is not the actual firewall IP address then you can
either put a static host route onto your internet router that points traffic
for that particular IP address at the firewall outside IP, OR you can arp
the IP on the firewall, OR you can go into CheckPoint SmartDashBoard under
global properties - > NAT (Network Address Translation) and TICK the box
called "Automatic ARP Configuration".

The last one is the easiest. But some people prefer to do it the old way.

I am running our firewall on the checkpoint secure platform.  I have added a
few manual address transitional rules.  These rules are used to NAT internet
traffic over to private ip addresses.  When using manual address translation
rules do you need to create static ARP entries for each manual address
translation rule???



Thanks
