(sorry for top-posting; Gmail mobile) iptables -- or, to be precise, netfilter -- is an in-kernel facility; it does not have a configuration file. You can, however, save your iptables rules using iptables-save > file, and restore it from rc.local using iptables-restore < file. The file's name and location is up to you.
