| This target is only valid in the |
| .B nat |
| table, in the |
| .B PREROUTING |
| and |
| .B OUTPUT |
| chains, and user-defined chains which are only called from those |
| chains. It specifies that the destination address of the packet |
| should be modified (and all future packets in this connection will |
| also be mangled), and rules should cease being examined. It takes one |
| type of option: |
| .TP |
| .BR "--to-destination " "\fIipaddr\fP[-\fIipaddr\fP][:\fIport\fP-\fIport\fP]" |
| which can specify a single new destination IP address, an inclusive |
| range of IP addresses, and optionally, a port range (which is only |
| valid if the rule also specifies |
| .B "-p tcp" |
| or |
| .BR "-p udp" ). |
| If no port range is specified, then the destination port will never be |
| modified. |
| .RS |
| .PP |
| You can add several --to-destination options. If you specify more |
| than one destination address, either via an address range or multiple |
| --to-destination options, a simple round-robin (one after another in |
| cycle) load balancing takes place between these adresses. |
