AZURE NAT Issues 22 & 25

[Parauser]

It seems like we are constantly encountering significant issues with the gateways installed in Azure as opposed to on-premise.  We are running R80.40 and in this case  single gateways in different Azure regions.    We spent over 20 hours on the Phone with Checkpoint and they cannot figure out the issue so I am asking if anybody has this working.   We are able to NAT inbound traffic from either a direct checkpoint interface or Azure LB from other ports, but Checkpoint cannot get the appliances to NAT and pass incoming traffic on Port 22.    The traffic just goes to the firewall and dies instead of NAT and Forward.    The same condition applies for outbound traffic on Port 25.   The traffic does not make it to the outside using the Hide Behind NAT.
