    I think that you would not have problems if you would just copy file
    with iptables configuration from one system to another. Of course, if
    you explicitly use in you iptables configuration some parameters of you
    system (such as its IP address) then you will need to change its value
    in the copied file to the vaule of corresponfing parameter of another
    system.
