The iptables redirect works fine once the commands are loaded.  My problem is just that the boot-time startup isn't loading the saved state from /etc/sysconfig/iptables, but a subsequent 'service iptables restart' does - and it is something new in 6.x.

Did you make sure that the service is active and that the iptables service is actually startet on bootup?

Try "chkconfig --list iptables" to see if it is active and "chkconfig iptables on" to activate it.

Yes, it does start, but the initial rules don't include the port redirection in the nat table.
