net.ipv4.ip_forward=0 reads net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
This will enable IP forwarding on all interfaces; if you want to enable it on just one interface then you will need to remove the previously stated line and add a line in /etc/sysctl.conf that reads:
net.ipv4.conf.<interface>.forwarding=1 ## Replacing interface with the appropriate interface (ex. eth0).
I also want to remind you that enabling ip routing on any interface is a security risk, so be warned.
Also look out for the response from my friend Eric Davis, he is explicitly looking into this just for you; so if you still have issues maybe he can provide some insight.

Hummh, maybe the following question may seem silly, but have you enabled
ip routing on your CentOS box ?
What's the result of cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ?
If you have enabled ip routing , maybe have a look at your firewall
rules to be sure that you don't drop any packets ...
