[cgse] adding new pools for growth

Question

Hi, CSC:
I'm looking for advice for adding new pools on a single CGSE on a CRS.
My setup (working) is as follows:
- single cgse on a 5.1.3 CRS
- nat44
- abf
- single inside vrf and single outside vrf (default vrf)
- single map address-pool, at this point
i was looking at the documentation and, only starting with XR 5.2, the configuration guide explicitly says that adding 'multiple' pools for nat44 is supported. So here are a few questions:
- is adding multiple address pools to a single inside vrf supported (only) starting with XR 5.2 or can i do this in 5.1?
- i'm assuming multiple pool support means: add several 'map address-pools' commands under the same inside vrf. is this correct?
- say multiple address pools under the same inside vrf is not supported on 5.1. is there a 'soft' way of adding more valid ips (address pool) to the setup? for example, creating a second inside vrf (different serviceapp) and adding it to the same 'service cgn' so that it maps out to one single outside interface?
Thanks a lot!
c.

App Pool details will be persisted in the config database.
