revision 8:

I saw your description in the issue "adding this action breaks the prerouting hook and disables any Docker rules set in the PREROUTING chain". Can you explain why? The dnat of 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 seems redundant. thx

as you said, it is redundant.
nothing changes with this DNAT, except that it can terminate the prerouting hook.
PREROUTING is not processed by applying DNAT first.

this is the reason why PERROUTING (Docker's rules) is handled poorly in mirrored networking.
