You cannot have the inside and outside on the same interface. NAT on a
Stick is usually going to be cases where you policy route packets from your
outside interface (the LAN) to one or more loopback interfaces, which are
themselves inside or outside interfaces, to force NAT to happen. It's ugly,
and really is an indication of poor network design, but it works sometimes.

I've seen some really elegant versions that just use static host routes
instead of policy routing, but mostly I see policy routing being used.
