i'd actually use the NAT box as a firewall, since it can do a bit more
than cisco's IOS can..

on the other hand, depending on how much protection you really want or
need, you might do the packetfiltering from the cisco anyway.

IPFW or IPFilter are both really powerful tools in controlling the flow of
data from one network to the other. you should check both out pretty
extensivly. i've recently switched to IPFilter (it's slightly more
powerful, IMHO).

anyhow, that's my two cents.
