That is wrong on two levels:

a) From an IPv4 standpoint, IT WON'T WORK.

        - 192.168.50.4 sends a SYN packet addressed to 206.124.146.177
        - The firewall rewrites the destination IP address to
          64.202.230.254 and forwards the packet.
        - 64.202.230.254 gets the SYN and returns a SYN/ACK. The source
          IP address in the response is 64.202.230.254. The destination
          IP address is whatever the source IP address was in the SYN.
        - If the destination is 192.168.50.4, the packet can't be routed
        - If it an address on the Cisco, then the Cisco won't know what
          to do with it since it won't match any connection which that
          router knows about.

b) From a Shorewall standpoint:

        - REDIRECT is used to capture packets and send them TO THE
          FIREWALL ITSELF. DNAT is used to forward the packet to another
          system.
        - The syntax of your rule is incorrect for both REDIRECT and
          DNAT; given that you are running Shorewall 3, that results in
          an invalid command being given to iptables.

You *really* should consider an upgrade to Shorewall 4 and
Shorewall-perl. It catches almost all configuration errors during
'check' and 'compile'.
