I have a related question.  My group has a seperated lab, and we have it
being
masqueraded currently with ipchains on a RedHat 6.0 server, which is
also
doing double duty as a second Samba server for those lab machines. 
Sometimes,
we need for the resources on the outside to be available.  Is there a
special
trick
to getting those ports forwarded through so that our inside clients can
see the
outside
server and clients?  I know this is not an IPChains list, but was just
wondering if
anyone may have battled this one before.
