I'm telnetting from the machine with the netfilter rules on it (so you
say that it won't work).
But why it won't work?
Is there any other way to achieve it?
Thank you!

1. Where are you testing the telnet from? The machine with the netfilter
rules on it (won't work) or a machine on your LAN which is routed through
the
netfilter machine (should work)?
2. Do you have a suitable FORWARD rule to allow the packets to get to
212.59.199.45 TCP port 110?
