[nflug] Port forwarding

Not being factitious, but unless you have oodles of time/experience, 
straight configuration of iptables is a beast.  Better to use something 
like shorewall.  It doesn't replace iptables, but rather writes 
configuration scripts for iptables.  Put this together with 
webmin(http://www.webmin.com) and you have a powerful, relatively easy 
setup for all of your firewalling needs, including masquerading, port 
forwarding, etc...
