If your rc script contains raw iptables commands, then run them and do an
'/etc/init.d/iptables save'. This will use iptables-save to save your rules
to IPTABLES_SAVE in /etc/conf.d/iptables.
Running '/etc/init.d/iptables start' will then use those saved rules
('/etc/init.d/iptables stop' WILL NOT SAVE YOUR RULES).
/etc/conf.d/iptables also has a variable to enable IPv4 forwarding.
If it's an iptables-save formatted file
(
*nat
:PREROUTING
)
The just stick in place of IPTABLES_SAVE and start iptables.

Nope.
You can optionally set ALSA_CARDS=emu10k1 in /etc/make.conf so alsa-driver
will only compile the emu10k1 driver, can save quite a bit of time.
