Never mind. I got it to work. I already had the ping going when I added the iptables SNAT rule, conntracking or route caching made it not work. I stopped the ping for a minute or so then restarted it and it worked and did the SNATing as I expected.

Hello,
I have the following setup on linux 2.6.32... CentOS 6.x :
ipsec tunnel eth0-10.255.3.254/25 - eth1-pub add1 <-> eth1-pub add2 - eth0-10.255.5.254/25
I am trying to SNAT remote private address 10.255.5.128/25 packets when they come out of the ipsec tunnel to make it appear like it was from local address 10.255.3.254. I am doing a source ping from the right side to a device on the left subnet ping -I 10.255.5.254 10.255.3.129 but it doesn't work - see below.

I would expect 10.255.5.254 to be replaced with 10.255.3.254 what am I missing? Is this possible I could do it when we were using FreeBSD.
I didn't find anything googling.
Thanks, Steve
