NAT, when configured in the usual way, shouldn't affect the source
address of an incoming packet -- just the destination. Similarly it
should rewrite just the source (internal) address on outgoing packets.
For a webserver behind a NAT gateway, the nat'ing process should be
essentially invisible: the internal network appears to be directly
connected to the internet.
I don't see quite what you are trying to achieve here. Could you tell
us some more detail about the layout of your network, what you're
seeing at the moment and what you'ld like to see?
Cheers,
Matthew
