You can put that information in /etc/network/interfaces, that will
restore your config on reboor /restart of networking

The forwarding will not become active until:
1) you reboot (but hey's this is unix, we don't need no reboots) OR
2) you do 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' OR
3) you do 'sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/network/ipv4/ip_forward'

Hop it heps...
