FYI, the 2.4/iptables does not _have_ to be set up as a stateful firewall.
If you run in w/o the stateful option conntrack is not used, and definately
not very useful with plain routing. I'm not sure whether the statefull
definition is set in the kernel, but IIRC it is an option with the iptables
ruleset.
