you can; if the original, public IP is different from the firewall's
external IP.  if you want specify the original DESTINATION of the
packet, you would use "-d" not "-s" like so:

  iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $EXT_IF -p tcp -d $PUB_IP \
    --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination $SRV1

um--it allows the packet through the FORWARD chain of the filter table.
remember--you're trying to build a firewall here.
