CentOS - May 2008 - Secure iptables settings

Is it feasible to write protect the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file so nothing can
overwrite it, such that at least the config is persistent through a reboot? If
not, is there a better way to accomplish this?

Thanks!

chmod a=r /etc/sysconfig/iptables   ???
chattr +i /etc/sysconfig/iptables       ???

I really didn't understand what you are trying to accomplish. Please
give more details, perhaps explain what problem are you trying to
solve.
