If you're using the iptables command to directly change your setup, you
have to use

	iptables-save >/etc/sysconfig/iptables

to save the current setup.  On boot, the system does an

	iptables-restore </etc/sysconfig/iptables

to restore those settings.  Or you can edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables
yourself directly and do a "service iptables restart" to make them
apply.
