OK, SNAT and DNAT do not support multiple --to any more in kernels above 
2.6.10. But it is unclear to me whether they still support one IP 
address *range* (with round robin) or only one single IP address.

The SAME target won't do round robin for the same source address. It 
will only do round robin for separate source addresses.

What about the BALANCE target ? It's in the man page, but I had never 
heard of it.
