Hi,

Is is possible to use iptables to rewrite the destination IP address for some outgoing packets on a host?

Section 6.3.7 of the NAT-HOWTO seems to suggest that this only works for packets with destination address 127.0.0.1. Or has this been fixed or is there another way to do it?

Why would it only work for 127.0.0.1?

Please reply back to my address since I'm not subscribed to the list.

Thanks,
Jonathan
