Ah. Didn't realise from your mail that the script didn't work. Without
the error messages it produces, it's mighty difficult to tell...
But it's almost certainly a kernel-config issue, since until recently
I used the same script (derived from Daniel Robbins' IBM developer
works article, right?).
That's right. The script is basically the DR script minus NATing.
The error message that I see at boot up is as originally posted, here
it is again:
==============================
# /etc/init.d/iptables restart
* Loading iptables state and starting firewall ...
iptables-restore v1.3.4: iptables-restore: unable to initializetable 'nat'
Error occurred at line: 8
Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more
information. [ !! ]
==============================
