Using pf to force different outgoing IP address depending on UNIX user/group for locally originating connection?

Good evenig.

My goal is to use pf to force (via NAT) different IP outgoing addresses 
depending on UID and/or GID of the program establishing the connection, for 
connections originating locally on machine with FreeBSD 5.4. (I do not expect 
this to work for setuid/setgid programs.)

I realize that I can filter and tag outgoing packet based on UID/GID on the 
outgoing interface, but after filtering and tagging, it is too late for NAT.

I believe in that it is possible to achieve my goal with pf, but probably some 
sort of loopback routing is required, so that the packet can first be tagged 
in the filtering rule dependind on the UID/GID, then somewhat routed back and 
then NATed based on the tag?

E.g., the primary address on the outgoing ethernet interface is for example 
192.168.33.11 and then for programs being run by user with UID=1004 I need to 
force outgoing IP address 192.168.33.14, for UID=1005 outgoing IP address 
192.68.33.15 and so on. Hope this concpt can be easily extended also for use 
with GIDs.

Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction and please excuse my 
poor English,

Eduard Vopicka
