ipchains will work (assumed you have the ipchains
compatibility module installed/compiled, because 2.4.x
uses iptables) on the physical server as expected.
It might work, in the virtual servers, if your capabilites
permit it, but I would not do that ...

PS: read the advanced routing howto, or the iptables
documentation to get a feeling what's possible with
iptables ...
