Don't you need a -p tcp between the FORWARD and the -d / -s? For other
iptables commands anyway it insists to have the protocol named before it
can interpret the addresses you are giving.
No, you can use addresses without a protocol, since addresses are part
of the IP spec. You can't use port numbers without specifying a
protocol, since port numbers are protocol-specific.
