UnNATing

Sorry if I am terribly confused, but if I SNAT an outgoing packet from the 
local LAN, is the return packet automatically DNATed back to the original 
internal IP when the return packet comes in (as it would be for MASQ in 
ipchains)? If so, I would assume the auto-DNAT happens pre-routing.. is this 
correct?

The NAT HOWTO hints that this is the case but doesn't explicitly say it 
anywhere.

Thanks
Toby
