There is a change in RH 6.2 regarding masquerading. Have to say they
did not do a real good job of highlighting this and I had to root
around to find it.
1. Version 6.2 no longer uses IPCHAINS. It is now IPTABLES. There is a
backwards compatability but you have to insmod the ipchains.o or
ipfwadm.o kernel modules for your old scripts to work.
2. IPv4 forwarding is also no longer controlled by /etc/sysconfig. The
settings are now made in the /etc/sysctl.conf script.

Features
