Been through all of the above,
'locate iptables' returns the usual suspects,
grep'ed /etc/init.d for iptables use, none,
grep'ed /etc recursively for iptables use, none,
grep'ed /var recursively for iptables use, none.

Its a mystery where the config comes from.  I noticed that a couple of 
ports unique to us are in the FORWARD table, so these are not default 
settings.  They survive after boot, on a custom kernel I geened a few 
months ago, so they have to be saved somewhere outside the kernel.

I just can't find where.
