Yes and no.  That was certainly one way that it manifested as a
problem.  I was getting test devices with the os in rom that I could
not change and they did not expect to see addresses from off of their
local subnet.  But also I *wanted* both source and destination
addresses to be translated.  Since it was not doing what I wanted it
to do I kept working at it until it did. :-)

I was quite happy with the result that I needed to specify separately
that both translations needed to occur.  I just needed to get to that
point in my understanding.  After I understood it then I was good to go.

Also let me say that I am very happy with Shorewall.  It has been a
superior solution for me for quite a few years now.  Thanks Tom!
