    Something's changing iptables. If it's not changing the
    /etc/sysconfig/iptables file, then it must be changing iptables on
    the fly, after init starts iptables (which uses the
    /etc/sysconfig/iptables file). Anything in rc.local?

I think you may have found the issue.  Here is what is in rc.local

## Bring up firewall
/sbin/iptables-restore < /etc/rc.d/firewall.ruleset

I think that is what is causing my issue.

Would it be okay to change the /etc/rc.d/firewall.ruleset  to
  /etc/sysconfig/iptables ??

Thanks again,
Scott


rc.local is used for local customization. I've no idea how what you have got there. I do have a firewall.ruleset file on my system, but it doesn't belong to any package, and I don't see anywhere that it's used.

I would simply comment out what you have in rc.local, and let the stock settings operate as they do. Just check to be sure that iptables is started (# chkconfig --list iptables), and iptables should start normally with whatever is in your /etc/sysconfig/iptables file.

You might do
