iptables-save will only output the rules in a way that
iptables-restore will be able to rebuild the rules from.

If what you want is for these rules to be up when you boot the
machine, what you want is probably "service iptables save", which will
use iptables-save to record these rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables,
and a script automatically calls iptables-restore to read that file
upon boot.

HTH,
