no no... to the client it will still seem like its connecting to the
external machine. However, the external machine wont handle the
request, it will simply forward the request (at the TCP level) to the
10.x machine. and similarly the response from the 10.x will go to the
external machine and _then_ to the client (so yes, this also needs to
be setup while doing port forwarding). If you read up on port
forwarding all of this will be clear to you :)
