It specifies that the destination address of the packet +should be modified (and all future packets in this connection will +also be mangled), and rules should cease being examined. It takes one +type of option: +.TP +\fB\-\-to\-destination\fP [\fIipaddr\fP][\fB\-\fP\fIipaddr\fP][\fB:\fP\fIport\fP[\fB\-\fP\fIport\fP]] +which can specify a single new destination IP address, an inclusive +range of IP addresses, and optionally, a port range (which is only +valid if the rule also specifies +\fB\-p tcp\fP +or +\fB\-p udp\fP). +If no port range is specified, then the destination port will never be +modified. If no IP address is specified then only the destination port +will be modified. + +In Kernels up to 2.6.10 you can add several \-\-to\-destination options. For +those kernels, if you specify more than one destination address, either via an +address range or multiple \-\-to\-destination options, a simple round-robin (one +after another in cycle) load balancing takes place between these addresses. +Later Kernels (>= 2.6.11-rc1) don't have the ability to NAT to multiple ranges +anymore. +.TP +\fB\-\-random\fP +If option +\fB\-\-random\fP +is used then port mapping will be randomized (kernel >= 2.6.22). +.TP +\fB\-\-persistent\fP +Gives a client the same source-/destination-address for each connection. +This supersedes the SAME target. Support for persistent mappings is available +from 2.6.29-rc2. |
