(I reordered these replies to put them in top-down order)

This doesn't add up. If you've put a 1 in ip_forward, catting it should
give you back a 1, not a 0. A clean way to make this happen every time
networking is enabled is to open up /etc/network/options and make sure
you have a line that says "ip_forward=yes" . Then /etc/init.d/networking
will do the cat for you every time it brings up the networking systems.
