I think there are ways to apply filters to PreRouting/Forward/PostRouting stages, I might need to MARK these packets using 'iptables' & then maybe use the FW filter, but what I want to understand is if u32 filter can do the same job without marking the packets? The reason for such a configuration is to make it look like one flat network & all these address are managed by one single central DHCP server. There are reasons for not using it as a bridge, but that drifts us away from the problem at hand. Suffice to say, all this works, machineX can get to machine2 & machine2 can get to any of the machineX.
