Route Nat dead. Does anybody going to support it?

Hello.

I've asked a question on linux kernel mailing list about status of route nat, 
and Sergey Vlasov pointed me to this discussion: 
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=109582576330019&w=2

So I know that in 2.6 kernel, route nat is broken and no one is going to 
support, in particular due to few coplaints about this (Next message in that 
thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=109587670428708).

I would like to note that many of companies still use 2.4 kernel, where route 
nat is working. Moving to 2.6 kernel branch is rather long in time (for 
example I was forced to move only due to SATA controller in my server.). That 
is the reason for few complaints (particulary zero).

Just wanted to note that, this feature is really want to. It is fast, 
understoodable way to do NAT. Without bycicle on behalf of virtual interfaces 
on iptables...

Thank you for your attention,
and thank you for really great work on linux networking!!!

P.S. Sorry. I have few time to implement it by myself. So I have to post such 
entreaties on the list.
