Problems with REDIRECT in the nat table for iptables [message #2963]

Okay, n00b here.

I am trying to use the nat table to redirect all queries to port 80 are redirected to port 8080.

Here is my command

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080

Here is the error:

iptables: No chain/target/match by that name

the nat table is loaded into the kernel because this command works:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.10:8080

Any ideas of what I need to do for REDIRECT to work?

Thanks

I suppose, you've forgot to add ipt_REDIRECT module inside VPS.
To do it, you should, for example,
add ipt_REDIRECT in IPTABLES variable in /etc/sysconfig/vz
and restart VPS.
