That works, of course.  In addition to Tom Diehl's comment, one minor
point:  if you use NNTP make sure you use fwbuilder to open a whole for
it.  The distributed ntpd startup script looks specifically for an
iptables chain named RH-Firewall-1-INPUT before deciding whether to poke
a hole in the firewall for port 123.  If you use firewall builder, this
won't work because that's not what its chains are called.
