The state of FORWARD just before I got things working had just this rule:
-A FORWARD -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
I added
-A FORWARD -s 0/0 -d 0/0 -j ACCEPT
And it worked. Looking back at my notes, I had
-A FORWARD -i eth1 -j ACCEPT
written down, but it wasn't in the running rules. The default policy I
had set through all of this was DROP. It currently works with the two I
indended to have:
-A FORWARD -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -i eth1 -j ACCEPT
I'm still learning how iptables works, so I'm not confident yet that what
I'm doing is the most secure way to do things. After I play with things
more, then I'm going to seek out someone who can look over my rules.

Thanks for this pointer. I don't understand any of it this early in the
morning, but I'll look at it some more later.
