Do you have a comparison of the performance difference in src-nat and masquerade?

Tried basically that.  Problem is the masquerade takes the management
address, not the public.  I am guessing masquerade uses the lowest
address on the interface.
It uses the first IP assigned to the outbound interface.  You can't see
the order of assignment from winbox.  You can see which IP will be used
from the terminal with "/ip address print" and look for the address
listed first for the outbound interface.  To change which IP is used,
you have 2 choices:

1. Use src-nat action instead of masquerade.  This method gives you the
option of specifying the IP that will be used without sacrificing very
much in terms of CPU requirements.

2. Change the order of the IP assignments on the outbound interface.
