Re: IP gets lost during redirection

How is the first machine "redirecting"?

The most simple solution is to configure the 'different machine's to
use the first machine as their default gateway, then use masquerading
on the first machine.  If you can not use the first machine as the
default gateway of the 'different machine's then what you want is not
possible.
