  Oh, sorry, I completely forgot to reply to this mail after the
workshop. So, it looks that the problem is that Netfilter does an
implicit SNAT on LOCAL_OUT if you use DNAT rules and a specific DNAT
rule would cause the packet to go out from a different interface than it
was originally destined to. I'm not sure that this is necessary at all,
and it looks like we've been able to convince Rusty that it should be
probably removed.

  Along with other NAT-related Netfilter patches, it is waiting for
Rusty to submit them. As for now, you could remove this routing lookup
and check from the NAT code, and see what happens.
