To make that persist across reboots, you need to edit /etc/sysctl.conf such that it will contain the line net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 As an aside, with things like this, you can configure the necessary iptables commands manually, as you are doing, but you might also consider a front end to iptables which takes much of the complexity away for you - system-config-securitylevel is a bit simple, so I tend to use shorewall (yum install shorewall). YMMV. HTH, Jonathan
