what you call 1:1 NAT is just called NAT by cisco, the stuff most folks think NAT is is actually NAT+PAT (like what you run on your home router with a single public IP)

Mostly, but NAT without PAT doesn't have to be 1:1. You could put 100 hosts behind 20 IP addresses without ever changing a port.
exactly, that's why I specified.
