IP routing should be turned off by default. You will also need to edit your /etc/sysctl.conf file so that the line that reads:
net.ipv4.ip_forward=0 reads net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
This will enable IP forwarding on all interfaces; if you want to enable it on just one interface then you will need to remove the previously stated line and add a line in /etc/sysctl.conf that reads:
net.ipv4.conf.<interface>.forwarding=1 ## Replacing interface with the appropriate interface (ex. eth0).
I bet that's it. I don't recall ever doing this before but then again the previous installation was pretty old (RH 7.2).
Unfortunately I won't know for sure until I rebuild the machine because the disk just died!
Note to self: Don't use an IBM Deskstar from a machine that's been sitting in the attic without air conditioning or heat for 6 years.
