Yes, iptables as far as I know is part of the kernel, but the rules
must be loaded.  In Slackware I would create a script and put it in
rc.d to be loaded.  I suppose that I could do something similar with
Debian, but would like to make sure that there is not some more
correct way to handle it first.
