    Right now my home LAN sits behind a Linksys, but the limitations of
    the little router are starting to grate on me. Plus I need to learn
    this linux routing stuff anyway.

    Assumptions:
    * debian linux iptables package
    * the iptables box is 192.168.1.103
    * the .103 box will receive traffic on port 5900
    * .103 should redirect that tcp port 5900 traffic to .100.

    I have read many tutorials/faqs/howtos in the newsgroups and on
    www.iptables.org, but whenever they talk about redirecting ports it
    seems to always be across a NAT boundary, which I don't need since the
    iptables box is sitting behind the linksys.

    Thanks for any advice, URLs, etc, you might have.
