Ok I figured that was the case, but I had seen it in another example
so I thought I'd try it.

What OS do you run? I'm running OpenSuSE 10.2. I've read a few
postings on the list that claim that some SuSE kernels have problems
with local port forwarding. BTW, I even tried to have it forward to
another host, but it didn't make a difference. I've also tried to
set /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward to 1, but it has no effect. I've
tried redirecting to ports that are bound via 0.0.0.0, 127.0.0.1, etc,
and it doesn't matter. I simply cannot get it to work and it really
frustrates me. Rgds,
