If several address aliases specify the same public address as follows redirect_address 192.168.0.2 public_addr redirect_address 192.168.0.3 public_addr redirect_address 192.168.0.4 public_addr the incoming traffic will be directed to the last translated local address (192.168.0.4), but outgoing traffic from the first two addresses will still be aliased to appear from the specified public_addr.
