Not on all RedHat versions work this way, e.g. NOT on RH 7.1 which I am
running today.
But I seem to remember it did in RH 6.1; what version are you running?
On RedHat 7.1 a "service network stop" (or /etc/init.d/network stop) will
disable forwarding, but "service network start" will NOT enable it again (!),
unless specified in /etc/sysctl.conf.
So if you do a "service network restart" (or /etc/rc.d/init.d/network
restart) and expect to have a clean network configuration (after messing
around or whatever), then your forwarding won't work.
This is the reason why I now use /etc/sysctl.conf instead of a line in
/etc/rc.local; then everything works fine.
