Thanks for your suggestion Henrik.

But, I wonder how will it work.
I suppose the response to the client *must* use the real destination
server IP for IP source address to not be dropped by it ?

So, I suppose I must use NAT in iptables to do this ?
Is this possible ?

In squid, I thought there was a mecanism to change the IP source address
of the reply.
Is this the reallity ?

Thanks in advance for your help !
