I'm still wrestling with this.
I'm seeing this error:

/lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: init_module: 
Device or resource busy
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including 
invalid IO or IRQ parameters

iptables v1.2.1a: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? 
(do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

iptables v1.2.1a: can't initialize iptables table `nat': iptables who? (do

Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

Here is the entry in my rc.local that is causing the error:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 24.xxx.xx.x --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp \
         -d 24.xxx.xx.x --dport 80 \
         -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.2I

I've been playing with this for several hours and could use more input please.
