This is not a CentOS-provided kernel; as has been said elsewhere in the thread, this is likely an OpenVZ kernel. Your hosting provider will have to install the modules necessary to make this function. If they either cannot or will not, then you can't use the options you want to use.
A very helpful and knowledgeable poster, Walter Haidinger, in his email dated Wed, 31 Aug 2011 13:10:16 +0200 (12:10 BST), gave what appears to be an ideal solution.
* get a more recent iptables from netfilter.org
* install to a different location
* how to install it
The server provider's suggestion
modprobe ipt_string
did not work so I have mention to them the OpenVZ comments made by several posters.
... OpenVZ container (VPS) ... is so different from 'real' CentOS.
So I am observing.
Thank you.
