Digging around the only thing I found was a patch-o-matic that allowed for doing a range of 15 ports. I see many references with dnat and snat, but nothing besides the patch for input or forward chains. If anyone has a link that or info that can steer me in the right direction the beers are on me at the Javits Center Linux show. Thanks, Ted PS: this is by far the best maintained mailing list I am on, kudo's to all the contributors/participants.
