There has to be something simple that I am missing here.  I have 16 servers
and I tried setting up port forwarding on all of them with no luck.  Simply
running the above 3 lines on each one.  On the remote machines, I would even
stop the firewalls altogether so that I was sure that it wasn't blocking
anything.  3 of the servers are in Kansas, 8 of the servers are in a Data
Center in Missouri and 5 of the servers are in a Data Center in Virginia.  I
have 2 Ethernet ports on each system, but don't use eth1 on all but 3 of
them.  So I never set up these rules to use a second Ethernet port.  Do I
need to use 2 ports?  The systems range from Rehat Linux 7.3 to RH
