thanks Jason :-)
this procedure you passed was exactly what the people did....
I'm beginning to think that the bug could be originated from the fact that we installed the new iptables up on the other and probably this merging didn't fit good or some /bin directory of the old one still stands there
The idea was to remove the content of all the iptables and reinstall the new one with the apt-get after having deleted all manually
You guess it may work out ?
I hope so...:-)
Any suggestion is well accepted !
thanks again!!

Now we got simultaneous and various vpn on gre protocol perfectly working passing by the firewall whitout any problem (and of course it was really the firewall because we tested the vpn's bypassing it and they worked.all toghether...)
Well...now when everithing looked working but than debugging the internal rules we saw that any attempt to add a "DNAT --to" always got an answer of
Invalid Argument ..........the same rules that before was working ....!!!!!And here came the problem.....
How is it possible for us making both instances (The VPN's and the DNAT --to rules) work togheter...is there any linux guru...:-) who can lend a hand and help us to find a way out in this maze ?
it sounds like you didn't compile iptables *after* applying POM and recompiling your kernel. steps are:
apply patches from POM recompile kernel recompile iptables
