Editing directly an 'iptables' save/restore file format is a bit
of a dodgy thing, but hey, if you know better... :-)

Well, while the 'iptables' save/restore format looks like the
'iptables' command arguments, it is by no means guaranteed to be
the same or similar or to behave equivalently... But hey, if you
know better... :-)

As to this:

adrian> -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 62000 -i eth1 -j DNAT
adrian> --to-destination 192.168.63.22:62000

the '--dport' option is not 'iptables-'native, it is supported
only by the 'tcp' and 'udp' protocol modules. Enough said I
suppose :-).
