| This target is only valid in the |
| .B nat |
| table, in the |
| .B POSTROUTING |
| chain. It specifies that the source 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 |
| .BR "--to-source " "\fIipaddr\fP[-\fIipaddr\fP][:\fIport\fP-\fIport\fP]" |
| which can specify a single new source IP address, an inclusive range |
| of IP addresses, and optionally, a port range (which is only valid if |
| the rule also specifies |
| .B "-p tcp" |
| or |
| .BR "-p udp" ). |
| If no port range is specified, then source ports below 512 will be |
| mapped to other ports below 512: those between 512 and 1023 inclusive |
| will be mapped to ports below 1024, and other ports will be mapped to |
| 1024 or above. Where possible, no port alteration will occur. |
| .RS |
| .PP |
| You can add several --to-source options. If you specify more |
| than one source address, either via an address range or multiple |
| --to-source options, a simple round-robin (one after another in |
| cycle) takes place between these adresses. |
