> Which are your rules in the nat table (POSTROUTING)?

Briefly, what I have:

*nat
-A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/24 ! -d 192.168.0.0/16 \
	-j SNAT --to-source 22.33.44.55
*filter
-A FORWARD -s 192.168.0.0/24 \
	-m comment --comment "admin-subnet" -j ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -d 192.168.1.0/24 \
	-m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -d 192.168.1.0/24 \
	-j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-unreachable
-A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.0/24 \
	-j ACCEPT

how to test:

tcpdump -i eth0 -ne 'net 192.168.1.0/24'

here eth0 (22.33.44.55): internet interface

as example, what test outputs _sometimes_ (rarely):

IP 192.168.1.4.50226 > 74.125.77.19.443: F 253979169:253979169(0) ack
	3081852170 win 16445
IP 192.168.1.4.50226 > 74.125.77.19.443: F 0:0(0)
	ack 1 win 16445
IP 192.168.1.4.50226 > 74.125.77.19.443: F 0:0(0) ack 1
	win 16445
IP 192.168.1.4.50226 > 74.125.77.19.443: F 0:0(0) ack 1 win
	16445
IP 192.168.1.4.50226 > 74.125.77.19.443: F 0:0(0) ack 1 win 16445
IP 192.168.1.4.50226 > 74.125.77.19.443: F 0:0(0) ack 1 win 16445
IP 192.168.1.4.50226 > 74.125.77.19.443: R 1:1(0) ack 1 win 0 

Also:

1. flushing connections with 'conntrack -F' considerably increases the
	rate of these unNATed packets
2. after
	iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.0.0/16 \! -d 192.168.0.0/16 \
	-m state --state INVALID -j DROP
   all works properly (no strange packets)
