7 mangled), and rules should cease being examined. It takes one type

17 If no port range is specified, then source ports below 512 will be
18 mapped to other ports below 512: those between 512 and 1023 inclusive
19 will be mapped to ports below 1024, and other ports will be mapped to
20 1024 or above. Where possible, no port alteration will
22 In Kernels up to 2.6.10, you can add several \-\-to\-source options. For those
23 kernels, if you specify more than one source address, either via an address
24 range or multiple \-\-to\-source options, a simple round-robin (one after another
25 in cycle) takes place between these addresses.
26 Later Kernels (>= 2.6.11-rc1) don't have the ability to NAT to multiple ranges
32 is used then port mapping will be randomized (kernel >= 2.6.21).
