Applying Nat rules during traffic

[sreejith menon <sreejithjmenon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have enabled IP masquerading on an outgoing interface using the below command

 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE.

But it doesnt seem to take effect if the traffic was ongoing. As soon
as i stop and start traffic the rule is effective.

Is it implemented this way or do i need to apply xtables add on patch
to fix this issue?

Currently i am doing a conntrack -F to avoid this issue. But i would
like to have a permanent fix. Any ideas?

regards
sreejith
