I don't know any iptables, because I've never had to.  Maybe someone on
the list will answer your question, but in the meantime, I strongly
suggest a program called fwbuilder.  You drag your rules around, and
when you're done, you can auto-generate scripts for every major
routing/firewall language you can think of.
