this has been under discussion since months. in fact it would be really
cool. we need to refactor (partly rewrite) the firewall scripts (as
planned) in order to be able to implement this. this goal will not be
reached in a foreseeable time, but the development (slowly) goes in that
direction.

it does for connections going the same destination port which has been
configured within portforwarding for the respective target ip.
for example, if you forward port 25 of ip x.x.x.x to (orange) y.y.y.y,
connections from y.y.y.y to a host port 25 will be SNAT'ed to the alias
ip address x.x.x.x.
