My pix (506E) for some reason will run out of xlates at which point it stops allowing any traffic out or in and needless to say pisses me and my whole network off. I changed the xlate timeout from 3 hours down to 1 hour and then down to 40 minutes and it still after a while stops allowing traffic. When I changed it to 1 hour it took about 3-4 months before it did it again. Could it be that there is just too much traffic for the 506 to handle for my network? That is the only thing I can think that would cause this. I worked with Cisco and their only suggestion was to change the timeout. It is running PIX 6.2(1) and PDM 2(0)147. Any suggestions?
