I'd prefer just using iptables, so i can redirect when i need to..

if I try it without the multiport option i get the following error..

[root@posjia0h01 root]# iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dports smtp -j
DNAT --to-destination 192.168.12.56
iptables v1.2.5: Unknown arg `--dports'
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.



And no I dont have any rules blocking this from working as shown below, but
would i need any iptables rules to make it work maybe? (like enable
ipforwarding and maybe a forward rule, im not sure)



[root@prxsaa0z02 root]# iptables -L
