Yes, it runs under Linux and i know how to nat/pat packets, but i'm fairly paranoid and i would like to keep it simple. But in the end, you're right, this is more easy to apply than begin to script in perl using hping or something like that. I can use a masquerade rule in the iptables postrouting chains. So, i will do that way, until developers will integrate source port option.
