Due to a merger, I have the following license issue/question:

Corporate site has an unlimited FW-1 license.  New site has a 100 address
license.

We are installing a private frame circuit between sites.  The question is
where do we terminate the frame circuits.

If we terminate the circuit on the internal networks, the FW at the new site
will eventually see all the headquarters IP addresses and exceed the license
count?  Or will it?  If client PC at new site opens a session with a server
at HQ site, will the new site FW see the traffic and note the HQ server IP
address in it's license table?  Assuming it does technically see and count
that address in it's license table, does this violate the legality of the
license, especially since HQ has an unlimited license?

We could terminate the circuits outside the respective firewalls.  The
problem with that is server load on the firewalls, and HG is using NAT and
we all know that MS and NAT don't play nice.

Any comments are appreciated!
