that's how it should work by default - server NAT is inbound only.

You can't be that specific with NAT (i.e. down to the protocol level,
only source/dest IP or network is permitted).  You'll have to set it
up so all outbound traffic from that internal machine gets NAT'ed to
that specific external IP to accomplish that.  Use advanced outbound
NAT, and remember after enabling it, you will have to manually create
the NAT mappings that are otherwise automatic (like the default LAN to
WAN IP mapping, etc.)
