Not necessarily. BTW: Which distribution and kernel are you running? There
is a special entry in the /proc Filesystem which enables this kernel
feature (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward). If you "cat" this file, it should
read "1". If not, you may try to add the following to /sbin/init.d/boot:
#
# Enable IP forwarding ?
#
if test -e /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward -a -n "$IP_FORWARD" ; then
ECHO_RETURN=$rc_done
case $IP_FORWARD in
yes)
echo -n "Enabling IP forwarding"
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward || ECHO_RETURN=$rc_failed
;;
*)
echo -n "Disabling IP forwarding"
echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward || ECHO_RETURN=$rc_failed
;;
esac
echo -e "$ECHO_RETURN"
fi
in addition to that, add the following block to /etc/rc.config:
#
# you can configure at runtime, if the host may forward
# IP packages or not. Is this host a router? (yes/no)
#
IP_FORWARD=no
