Re: dnat with mac instead of ip address?

net with dhcp + dynamic dns updates of local zone + router with masquerade 
and single external address.

i am looking for regular DNAT behaviour to rewrite destination ip address 
of incoming packet but with single exception to current implementation: 
destination in rule is not explicitly ip address but hw address and i 
expect router to fetch ip address for this hw address from neighbour 
cache, etc. every time such packet comes.

What are you trying to do?

Change the destination MAC address on a packet, without changing the IP 
address?

Netfilter can't do this sort of thing for you - either you need to put 
some 
static entries in your ARP table, or you need to configure the required 
MAC 
address on the destination machine.

I'm puzzled as to why you think you want to do this, though - what's the 
application?

Antony.
