I assume you currently have a POSTROUTING rule: iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o $extIF -j SNAT --to 193.137.1.1 Well, simply put two rules in front of this: iptables -I POSTROUTING -t nat -s 192.168.0.1 -d a.b.c.d -j ACCEPT iptables -I POSTROUTING -t nat -s 192.168.0.2 -d a.b.c.d -j ACCEPT Where a.b.c.d is the IP address of the licence server. Make sure the routing table on the licence server knows how to send packets to 192.168.0.1 correctly.
