Bootup control is done in /etc/sysctl.conf:
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0|1
At runtime, use the sysctl command:
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_foward=0|1
Usually you have routing disabled at bootup, install your firewall rules,
then enable routing _after_ the firewall rules are in effect. Having
routing enabled at bootup opens a dangerous hole for intruders when the
network comes up...
