You are considering iptables... So you like to be hurting a lot.
Go for it, nothing wrong with that , don't let anybody elses reasoning
get into the way of fullfilling your fantasies.
Seriously, why would you want to to give someone the impression that
the gateway/firewall just works, ... use iptables if you want to keep
your job; Think of your children.
