I did similar. But, my problem is that no matter what I do (I tested all
different ways), as long as I put
IPTABLES_SAVE_ON_RESTART="yes"
and reboot, then all of my settings are gone.

I also tried Firestarter. Strange thing is that I set some ports open from it,
and restart computer. Then, the iptables settings are the "original output"
plus whatever I set in firestarter, but the file /etc/sysconfig/iptables goes
back to "original" -- no port is opened from that file.  So, the firestarter
saves its setting somewhere else and adds them on top of the "original
setting".

Something strange. I don't understand.
