Subject: [NAT] NAT and IP output Source address problem

Hi All,
  I'm new to nat. So can somebody please help me.

IP Source address is added to packet by NAT and IP output both.
  Consider this flow of packets.
   a. NAT adds global Src IP address
   b. Forwarder Forwards the packet based on the Dest IP address
   c. Now IP output puts source address based on the interface the packet
was sent to by the forwarder.

If I loop back this packet to IP input then we don't have a mapping for this
source IP address in the NAT table so either the packet is dropped or goes
untranslated.

 How is this solved?

Regards
Kshitij
