	// bridge, if there is one.  When the response comes, it comes from that
	// same interface, so the NAT matches and the response packet is
	// correct.  This matters for UDP, since there is no per-connection port
	// number.
	//
	// The alternative would be to use DNAT, except that it doesn't work
	// (empirically):
	//   * DNAT to 127.0.0.1 = Packets just disappear - this seems to be a
	//     well-known limitation of iptables.
	//   * DNAT to eth0's IP = Response packets come from the bridge, which
	//     breaks the NAT, and makes things like DNS not accept them.  If
	//     this could be resolved, it would simplify all of this code.
	//
	// If the proxy is bound to a specific IP, then we have to use DNAT to
	// that IP.  Unlike the previous case, this works because the proxy is
	// ONLY listening on that IP, not the bridge.
	//
	// Why would anyone bind to an address that is not inclusive of
	// localhost?  Apparently some cloud environments have their public IP
	// exposed as a real network interface AND do not have firewalling.  We
	// don't want to expose everything out to the world.
	//
	// Unfortunately, I don't know of any way to listen on some (N > 1)
	// interfaces but not ALL interfaces, short of doing it manually, and
