Why not use /etc/sysctl.conf ?

let aliz incorporate this in with the iptables script

perhaps a variable in conf.d/iptables:
IPTABLES_IP_FORWARDING=1

ok, this routing rc script is working perfect on my router.
maybe you will include it temporary before other (better) solution
will be ready?

What about this ebuild? Is it already deprecated now? Is there better solution in gentoo in this moment?

etc/init.d/ipforwarding etc/conf.d/ipforwarding  set up ipforwarding after iptables.

i made this configurable. (independently.)

also, the reason that this is necessiary is that bootmisc (which mungles
kernel parameters) happens before iptables (if installed).

Re-assign, aliz seems to be MIA for almost a year... Someone please handle this.
