Hello.   
   
I would like ask about feature, that I think can be very useful. Instead of   
using save/restore capabilities of iptables, why not to add the possibility to   
start some additional script to populate iptables rules?   
   
So I would like to add something like this in /etc/conf.d/iptables   
   
USE_SCRIPT="yes"   
SCRIPT_TO_POPULATE="/root/bin/iptables"   
 
And in such configuration, iptables should start that script instead of 
iptables restore. 

Reproducible: Always

seems kind of pointless ... why not just make your own init.d script in that case
