no--it doesn't.  if by "the destination server is inside a DMZ" you mean
the web server is on a different layer3 subnet than the client, routed
through the firewall.  you are applying the half-assed SNAT solution where
it's not even needed.  this is worse than the SNAT for the OP's scenario;
at least there the SNAT serves to create some semblance of functionality.

NAT is the duct tape of networking; if you can route, route.
