I really appreciate the suggestion, and I've seen shorewall mentioned here 
before.  However, I've got other reasons that dictate that I learn the ins 
and outs of iptables and NAT, down to the nitty-gritty details. *grin*

I'm reading the second edition of the Linux Network Administrator's Guide, 
and it is pretty good...it's just that I only yesterday got to the 
iptables chapter.  Up until now I've been copying lines and changing the 
port numbers... *cough*
