Sure - you just have rules in place which map the destination IPs of incomi=
ng packets, based upon classification criteria expressed in the NAT config,=
to the destination address(es) of choice.
Those who ill-advisedly run servers behind NATs use this functionality.
You can also turn a NAT with this type of configuration 'upside-down', so t=
hat the 'public' side is nearest the traffic sources, if desired.
