There are two gateways that probably will NAT. The machine itself does
not NAT as far as I understood. So there will be no problem with
asymmetric routing. Setting up NAT on an internal machine not being the
gateway itself would be unnecessary evil. And it would not help this
case as you still need to route packets to the proper (still internal)
gateway.
