Read,
http://netfilter.samba.org/unreliable-guides/NAT-HOWTO/NAT-HOWTO.linuxdoc-4.html#ss4.1 

(4.1 I just want masquerading! Help!)

I think the differnce is specifying the output devices instead of the source
address.

If that doesn't help then some more details like
client routes and interfaces
server routes and interfaces
iptables -t nat -L
etc etc
might help.


Yours Tony.
