Hello,

>  1. What does "client" mean? An IP, process?

Source IP-address.

>  - Will all my connections go through one IP?

Yes, until you don't change source IP. Only original source IP-address is
using in hash function for selecting IP-address from NAT-pool.

>  - Or for each connection IP will be chosen randomly?

This is default behaviour. Source and destination addresses are using for
hash value calculation in this case.
