An inside IP is mapped to an outside IP. What is the point of static NAT again?

Security so the world does not know your inside IP of your server would be one reason. Another would be if you change service providers and you get a new IP address you would not have to change the IP address on your server or any other inside address. just change the Nat Pool on the Router config.

Think of it this way. When would you use a static IP on your internal network?
