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.

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? Regards, Antony. -- Normal people think "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
