Hi

>     185K 8942K SNAT       all  --  *      eth0    0.0.0.0/0
0.0.0.0/0
to:1.2.3.4

This rule will change the source address of all the packet going out of
the eth0 interface. (Irrespective of whether they are local packets or
forwarded packets)

The NAT:OUTPUT chain will do a NAT for local packets (ie) packets
generated by the local machine.

>Should i change this to:

Yes, this should work.

>and last question:
>All packets leaving routing code (local, forwarded) pass througth
>POSTROUTING chain at nat table or only forwarded packets?

Yes, all the packets will pass through the POSTROUTING chain.
