Bingo! Two points for Jack...
Changing this to true (more accurately, to anything other than
"no" or "false") enables packet forwarding on RH51. For reference, try:
less /etc/rc.d/init.d/network and search for FORWARD_IPV4.
Thanks for finding that; it's much easier to change this one value
in /etc/sysconfig/network than add all those lines to rc.local. Thanks.
Cheers,
