"re-insert" ?

It just changes them on their way through.

However, NAT wasn't `officially' part of IP Fitler until about 2 weeks ago,
although it was present, when 3.1.0 was released (also made the transparent
proxy stuff `official').

Have another look at the web pages, in particular this one:

http://coombs.anu.edu.au/~avalon/ipfil-flow.html

which shows how the various stages interact in how packets are passed
through.
