I'm not sure that this is really going to work. This is the masq list,
so I assume there is masquerading going on, yes? That means that, to
the external network, all of your masq'd clients appear to have the same
IP address to any external host. How is a host outside the net supposed
to contact one of your clients? How is it supposed to single-out the
particular host that it wants to talk to?

That might work, but to which host should the packet be forwarded? All
of them? Can you specify a broadcast address as the destination address
for a port-forward? Is that going to do anything useful for SMB protocol?
