Nope, just the target Adress is rewritten (by routing). DNAT is
Destination NAT! I.e. the target IP of the packet is rewritten. Since
the Linksys is the default gateway, packets can keep their source IP
address. Of course, the source MAC address will be rewritten to the
router's -- but that's got nothing to do with NAT but routing instead.
