Problem in MIRROR target?

[Sandip Bhattacharya]

No. It happens quite frequently with machines with multiple interfaces 
to the internet. In fact the present code of ipt_MIRROR.c takes care of 
this by checking if the switching of addresses causes a change in 
outgoing device and changes the sk_buff->dst accordingly in route_mirror()
