IP LOCAL POOL clarification reqd

[captaintuba]

Folks - I new to pix and just getting up to speed.
I just need some clarification on parts of a config I working on.
The following interfaces are in use:

ip address outside X.Y.Z.115 255.255.255.240
ip address inside 192.168.168.1 255.255.255.0
ip address dmz1 192.168.169.1 255.255.255.0
ip address intf3 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255
ip address intf4 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255
ip address intf5 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255

ip local pool DIALINCLIENTS 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.254

Does the ip local pool command set a pool of addresses that VPN clients appear to come from?

Does 192.168.1.n become the source address for VPN clients on the inside or dmz1 LANs?

If so, this means I must avoid using the 192.168.1.n network anywhere else.

TIA

You are correct! You should use a subnet that is not used anywhere on the network for the vpn pool.
