\_ Okay I'm still looking for the best way to do some port forwarding.

Yes, iptables all the way.  Easier, more fun, and more flexible.

iptables oriented, but it really as easy as that summary shows.

with -t nat and -t mangle it just doesn't get much better.  :-)

The migration ipchains to iptables isn't particularly difficult, or
wasn't for the rulesets I had baked.
