It would be nice if the iptables package allowed to activate IP forwarding.

I made the following changes to achieve this:
1. In /etc/conf.d/iptables, I added this line:
IPTABLES_FORWARD=1

2. In /etc/rc.d/iptables, before the stat_busy line, I added:
if [ "$IPTABLES_FORWARD" = "1" ]; then
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
fi
This task depends upon
