I'm changing destination address in OUTPUT resp. destination UDP port only in 
this case, source port will be changed in POSTROUTING. Session#1 is 
identified by source/dest address before rerouting is done to source2/dest2 - 
this is second session! But when packet leaves POSTROUTING then enters 
PREROUTING immediately, conntrack high priority callback see  
(*pskb)->nfct != NULL and won't check IP and provides non corresponding info. 
I must drop such packets because it's confusing.

Note I cannot use NAT it's is different task. There are 2 (conntract) sessions 
and RTPPROXY is responsible for routing. 

I'm going to write a HOWTO.
