BTW why you need NAT on something else than > router? Fedora is not the best router distro one can find. Firewalld offers it as a tool, so I would like to investigate to determine if it is the best solution to the job. It would be good to have a comparison against raw iptables or pf for example. Also, there is nothing wrong with fedora as a router - It's a little bit to setup, but works well. It means that I can have OS consistency inside my household.
