i think the issue of a smb connection tracking and/or nat module has
already been discussed 2-3 years ago.  It's just that nobody has written
one so far. patches welcome ;)

no, of course not.  connection tracking can just deal with symmetric
connections (a.b.c.d:e -> v.w.x.y:z and replies v.w.x.y:z ->a.b.c.d:e).
Everything else can only be achieved with connection tracking helpers.

no, as indicated above, nobody has contributed one yet.
