The server isn't making connections on behalf of the machines behind it,
it's just passing packets through after performing address translation.

ICS maintains data of its own to keep track of the address and port
translations, but these don't show up in netstat. Perhaps there's a
control panel for ICS that lets you view its current mappings.
