I find shorewall is the nicest way to go about this sort of thing. You
write some fairly straightforward configuration files describing your
setup and what you want to achieve, and it handles all the iptables
configuration for you. Easy to setup, easy to maintain, easy to modify
when your requirements change (if you want to do some port forwarding
etc.).
