look at the rdr feature of ipnat. I've no experience with it though.
From man 5 ipnat

      rdr    that  is  used  for  redirecting  packets to one IP
              address and port pair to another;

to do that.

map <external i/f> <internal network> -> <external address>

Isn't it selective enough ?
