DFM and inside static NATs

I am running LMS 2.6 and have an issue with inside static NATs. It seems that DFM discovers and monitors these NAT statements and should a user shut down one of the devices associated with a NAT statement this will cause a red alarm on the alerts and activitied screen. Does anyone know how to disable the monitoring of static NATs? The IP addresses associated with the NAT statements may be part of a loopback address or may not. It doesn't seem to matter. Any help will be greatly appriciated.

If you have DFM 2.0.10, you can use the bulk management scripts under NMSROOT/objects/smarts/utils (documented in the online help) to unmanage those IP addresses within DFM. There is also another script available from TAC for bug CSCsb48643 that will allow you to do the same thing.
