Do I still need to set up ipchains for packets coming back out, or does
this take care of all of it?  Another thing I'm similarly stuck on is
portforwarding into a single FTP server.  Do you just:

ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L $external_ip 20 -R $DMZFTP_IP 20
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L $external_ip 21 -R $DMZFTP_IP 21

or do I also need to put in some ipchains stuff defining the exiting
packets?  Also, can I use both portfw and mfw in a configuration, for
instance mfw with the web servers and portfw with the ftp server?

TIA
