Re: ipforward with ipchains

[Charles Menzes <charles@lunarmedia.net>]

One bit of advice that you might want to watch out for when setting up 
your symlink is to make sure the XX number is higher than your SXXnetwork 
symlink. I think by default redhat puts its ipchains/iptables init script 
symlinks as S08ip(chaines|tables) and network as S10network. I found that 
my ipchains script would need a manual restart even after a reboot. Once I 
changed my ipchains symlink to S11ipchains, it worked like a charm.
