I beleive that mostly depends on what kind of redirection you are
implementing, so it depends on the machine you use to do the
redirection.

It could be that when I see a packt of this protocol, going to machine
Z, I decide to deliver it to Y instead. So at that time, Y will see
the unmodified packet emmitted by X. Up to Y to be able to read it and
to reply to it.

Other way to do the redirection, is when I see the packet destinated
(?) to Z, I change the destination address to be the address of Y and
passwed over Internet the normal way, then Y does not know where it
was supposed to go (maybe Y can guess because Z would be the only
machine talking that specific protocol on the network).
