If you're concerned about maintaining a script for your iptables
configuration, consider the Shoreline firewall ( www.shorewall.net ) to
manage your firewall.

The things I like about Shorewall is that it uses human-readable config
files, AND it generates iptables chains that are much more
comprehensible than the other stuff that I've seen.

Naturally, this is just my $0.02 (US) worth.
