View source for gentoo iptables rules survive reboot

gentoo will automatically load rules from when starting iptables...
 /var/lib/iptables/rules-save

the file above is saved by running...
 /etc/init.d/iptables save

So, as long as iptables is in your default run level for automatic startup, and you rules are saved, they will survive a reboot.  Don't forget about ipforwarding too.
