it doesn't matter, its a rule in a different chain

I recommend you read up on iptables and firewall rules to understand how 
it all works before attempting to apply any rule.

good stuff here
http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/

the ip masquerade HOWTO lives here 
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/
its a -little- out of date, but still quite applicable.

these additional rules should be added in a manner compatible with your 
existing firewall rules...  if you're using one of the common rule 
generator scripts (lokkit, shorewall, etc) it may well already have its 
own method for enabling rules like this, that would be preferable.
