How to log redirected packets

[Abdul-Wahid Paterson]

You need to add in the same matches as your redirect statements...So
one for each with the first one being:

iptables -t nat -A INSERT 1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j LOG --log-level debug

I have put this as an INSERT as it has to go above the redirect line.
Following this example you can make a LOG line for each of your
redirects.
