Consider looking at bridging and allowing IPTables to see bridged 
traffic.  The traffic will end up being dropped or not forwarded because 
there is no destination on the other side.  However in the process I 
think the traffic will pass through IPTables thus allowing you to do 
what you are wanting to do.
