IPPORTFW vs MFW



Hi there

I'm wanting to setup port forwarding of some sort on my Debian firewall box.  
Looking at the IP_masquerade HOWTO it talks about IPPORTFW and MFW.  Which of 
these is better (?) to use? The HOWTO has a bit of info on IPPORTFW but none on 
MFW - is there any examples/howto's of MFW around?

I am wanting to forward port 6200 to an internal server. My system setup is as 
follows:

            Internet
                |
                | (fixed IP address)
           +--------+
           | Router |
           +--------+
                | (192.168.128.50)
                |
                | (192.168.128.1)
+----------------------------------+
| Debian firewall / masquerade box |
+----------------------------------+
                | (192.168.123.5)
                |
                | (192.168.123.1)
     +---------------------+
     | Server for port 6200|
     +---------------------+

Thanks
