ajax,
In order for you to keep the routing rules you're telling the firewall to use while
it's running you will have to code the rules in a bash script and have it run at
startup.
this script can be as plain and simple as a series of commands that you would enter on
the command line in a terminal, or as complex as a fule blown dynamic bash program
script. the choice is yours and also depends upon your coding abilities and
application needs.
If it's just some static rules that you want to install each time the firewall is
started up then simply code this commands into a simple bash script and save the file
to /etc/rc.d/init.d, chmod it to 755 and then add a line to the end of /etc/rc.local
reading something like this:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/extra-chains
