Unfortunately not, at least not without modifying the source code :) The behaviour of the NAT code changed when Rusty's NAT simplifications were merged in 2.6.11. I personally think this new behaviour is better than the old one, as it provides increased performance and better cooperation with load balancing solutions and other NAT-sensitive equipment. Why exactly do you want to achieve the round-robin behaviour for one internal IP? -- KOVACS Krisztian
