I'd like to keep the > changes to a minimum since everything else works. iptables -I POSTROUTING -t nat -d a.b.c.d -j ACCEPT where a.b.c.d is the destination address for packets you don't want anything changed on. The "-I" will insert this rule at the top of the POSTROUTING chain, and "-j ACCEPT" will skip all the other rules in the chain. If you want to do this for a block of addresses, you can use a.b.c.d/x, or if you want to do it for multiple unrelated addresses, just repeat the rule for each address.
