    <para>Use this file to define dynamic NAT (Masquerading) and to define
    Source NAT (SNAT).</para>

    <warning>
      <para>The entries in this file are order-sensitive. The first entry that
      matches a particular connection will be the one that is used.</para>
    </warning>

    <warning>
      <para>If you have more than one ISP, adding entries to this file will
      *not* force connections to go out through a particular ISP. You must use
      PREROUTING entries in <ulink
      url="shorewall-tcrules.tcml">shorewall-tcrules</ulink>(5) to do
      that.</para>
    </warning>

    <para>The columns in the file are as follows.</para>

    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><emphasis role="bold">INTERFACE</emphasis> - [<emphasis

        <listitem>
          <para>Outgoing <emphasis>interfacelist</emphasis>. Prior to
          Shorewall 4.1.4, this must be a single interface name; in 4.1.4 and
          later, this may be a comma-separated list of interface names. This
          is usually your internet interface. If ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes in
          <ulink url="shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink>(5), you may
          add ":" and a <emphasis>digit</emphasis> to indicate that you want
          the alias added with that name (e.g., eth0:0). This will allow the
          alias to be displayed with ifconfig. <emphasis role="bold">That is
          the only use for the alias name; it may not appear in any other
          place in your Shorewall configuratio</emphasis>n.</para>

          <para>Each interface must match an entry in <ulink
          url="shorewall-interfaces.html">shorewall-interfaces</ulink>(5).
          Prior to Shorewall 4.1.4, this must be an exact match.
          Shorewall-perl 4.1.4 and later allow loose matches to wildcard
          entries in <ulink
          url="shorewall-interfaces.html">shorewall-interfaces</ulink>(5). For
          example, <filename class="devicefile">ppp0</filename> in this file
          will match a <ulink
          url="shorewall-interfaces.html">shorewall-interfaces</ulink>(5)
          entry that defines <filename
          class="devicefile">ppp+</filename>.</para>

          <para>The interface may be qualified by adding the character ":"
          followed by a comma-separated list of destination host or subnet
          addresses to indicate that you only want to change the source IP
          address for packets being sent to those particular destinations.
          Exclusion is allowed (see <ulink
          url="shorewall-exclusion.html">shorewall-exclusion</ulink>(5)).</para>

          <para>If you wish to inhibit the action of ADD_SNAT_ALIASES for this
          entry then include the ":" but omit the digit:</para>

          <programlisting>        eth0:
        eth2::192.0.2.32/27</programlisting>

          <para>Normally Masq/SNAT rules are evaluated after those for
          one-to-one NAT (defined in <ulink
          url="shorewall-nat.html">shorewall-nat</ulink>(5)). If you want the
          rule to be applied before one-to-one NAT rules, prefix the interface
          name with "+":</para>

          <programlisting>        +eth0
        +eth0:192.0.2.32/27
        +eth0:2</programlisting>

          <para>This feature should only be required if you need to insert
          rules in this file that preempt entries in <ulink
          url="shorewall-nat.html">shorewall-nat</ulink>(5).</para>

        <listitem>
          <para>Set of hosts that you wish to masquerade. You can specify this
          as an <emphasis>address</emphasis> (net or host) or as an
          <emphasis>interface</emphasis>. If you give the name of an
          interface, the interface must be up before you start the firewall
          (Shorewall will use your main routing table to determine the
          appropriate addresses to masquerade).</para>

          <para>In order to exclude a address of the specified SOURCE, you may
          append an <emphasis>exclusion</emphasis> ("!" and a comma-separated
          list of IP addresses (host or net) that you wish to exclude (see
          <ulink
          url="shorewall-exclusion.html">shorewall-exclusion</ulink>(5))).
          Note that with Shorewall-perl, a colon (":") must appear between an
          <replaceable>interface</replaceable> name and the
          <replaceable>exclusion</replaceable>;</para>

          <para>Example (shorewall-shell):

          <para>In that example traffic from eth1 would be masqueraded unless

        role="bold">detect</emphasis>|<emphasis
        role="bold">random</emphasis>]</term>

        <listitem>
          <para>If you specify an address here, SNAT will be used and this
          will be the source address. If ADD_SNAT_ALIASES is set to Yes or yes
          in <ulink url="shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink>(5) then
          Shorewall will automatically add this address to the INTERFACE named
          in the first column.</para>

          <para>You may also specify a range of up to 256 IP addresses if you
          want the SNAT address to be assigned from that range in a
          round-robin fashion by connection. The range is specified by
          <emphasis>first.ip.in.range</emphasis>-<emphasis>last.ip.in.range</emphasis>.
          Beginning with Shorewall 4.0.6, you may follow the port range
          with<emphasis role="bold"> :random</emphasis> in which case
          assignment of ports from the list will be random. <emphasis
          role="bold">random</emphasis> may also be specified by itself in
          this column in which case random local port assignments are made for
          the outgoing connections.</para>

          <para>Example: 206.124.146.177-206.124.146.180</para>

          <para>You may also use the special value "detect" which causes
          Shorewall to determine the IP addresses configured on the interface
          named in the INTERFACES column and substitute them in this
          column.</para>

          <para>Finally, you may also specify a comma-separated list of ranges
          and/or addresses in this column.</para>

          <para>This column may not contain DNS Names.</para>

          <para>Normally, Netfilter will attempt to retain the source port
          number. You may cause netfilter to remap the source port by
          following an address or range (if any) by ":" and a port range with
          the format
          <emphasis>lowport</emphasis>-<emphasis>highport</emphasis>. If this
          is done, you must specify "tcp" or "udp" in the PROTO column.</para>

          <para>Examples:</para>

          <programlisting>        192.0.2.4:5000-6000
        :4000-5000</programlisting>

          <para>You can invoke the SAME target rather than the SNAT target by
          prefixing the column contents with <option>SAME:</option>.</para>

          <para>SAME works like SNAT with the exception that the same local IP
          address is assigned to each connection from a local address to a
          given remote address.</para>

          <para>If the <option>nodst:</option> option is included, then the
          same source address is used for a given internal system regardless
          of which remote system is involved.<warning>
              <para>Support for the SAME target is scheduled for removal from
              the Linux kernel in 2008.</para>
            </warning></para>

          <para>If you simply place <emphasis role="bold">NONAT</emphasis> in
          this column, no rewriting of the source IP address or port number
          will be performed. This is useful if you want particular traffic to
          be exempt from the entries that follow in the file.</para>

          <para>If you want to leave this column empty but you need to specify
          the next column then place a hyphen ("-") here.</para>
