Generally Available: Destination Network Address Translation (DNAT) on Azure Firewall Private IP address
Azure Firewall enhances the DNAT rule configuration to support port translations on its Private IP address.
DNAT on Azure Firewall Private IP address helps connect overlapped IP networks, which is a common scenario for enterprises when onboarding new partners to their network or merging with new acquisitions.
This capability is also relevant for hybrid scenarios, connecting on-premises datacenters to Azure, where DNAT bridges the gap, enabling communication between private resources over non-routable IP addresses.
