When a DNAT rule is configured via iptables with different port ranges, iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d 10.0.0.2 -m tcp --dport 32000:32010 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.10:21000-21010 we seem to be DNATing to some random port on the LAN side. While this is expected if --random is passed to the iptables command, it is not expected without passing --random. The expected behavior (and the observed behavior prior to the commit in the "Fixes" tag) is the traffic will be DNAT'd to 192.168.0.10:21000 unless there is a tuple collision with that destination. In that case, we expect the traffic to be instead DNAT'd to 192.168.0.10:21001, so on so forth until the end of the range. This patch intends to restore the behavior observed prior to the "Fixes" tag.
