In that case change the DNAT rule to: iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -d 10.10.10.41 -p tcp --dport 15000 -j DNAT --to 196.2.147.208:80 > And then if anything from ip 196.2.147.208 port 80 comes back it must be > forwarded to 10.10.10.41 port 15000.

Netfilter has no effect on layer 7 protocols (content). The result will be exactly the same as if you had connected to 196.2.147.208 port 80, except you can now get to it on 10.10.10.41 port 15000 as well.
