Yes, this happens when I connect from my machine (which functions as a router 
with NAT to allow the other LAN machines connect to the internet) to another 
LAN machine. When the router establishes a connection to another point in the 
intranet, the source address used is my official IP, and not 10.0.0.1, which 
is the intranet IP of the router.
In other words, I want the source address to be 10.0.0.1 on every outgoing 
connection where the destination is inside my intranet.
