      Hey,
      We have web developers come to us from time to time asking to make their dev box public facing. We go ahead and create a NAT rule in the firewall. They no longer need it after the demo is complete, but forget to tell us that they are finishing with the NAT IP, etc. a few months later I will go through and discover a few NAT rules that I eventually remove.

      Can we schedule a NAT rule to only be valid for an 8 hour window, and then automatically disable itself indefinitely?

        I think the best you might do is to link the NAT's firewall rule to a schedule.
