Yes, but not in a user friendly fashion. Modify the conf/iptables.conf
*nat table so that it doesn't NAT (accept properly marked packets in
post-routing instead of MASQUERADE) and add the proper return route in
your infrastructure.

We are looking for a sponsor to make that easier to do by configuration
instead of poking in iptables rules directly. Contact us if interested
to help PacketFence development!

A very good use case for NAC!
