When changing the above to 

   /sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L inet_ip_addr 4000 -R 192.168.5.9
80

 and then point my browser to "inet_ip_addr" all works!!!

In other words when using port 4000 to request www pages the thing gets
forwarded just fine.  This means that there must be a problem with
blocking
port 80 in my IpChains rules - but where???
