i run this command iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -d 8.8.4.4 -j MASQUERADE
my client computers able to ping 8.8.4.4 but when i "iptables --flush -t nat" it clrear the table but my client can still ping the destination. i check "iptables-save" is shows that tables are empty. i thought that there could be some kind of service related to iptable in /etc/init.d folder so that i can restart that but there are none. and i notices after 5 minutes or so my clients computer were not able to ping which means my commands affects after 5 minutes. but i want prompt effect of every iptable command. is there any thing that can be done in this regard ? pls help one more thing what could be done to retain all the iptable statements even after reboot. i think writing all the iptables command in rc.local is not a good idea. it is work around. can any one plz help in this regard also.
