You are missing the "-l" flag to tell the server that you want the log to 
go in a new location.  The syntax should be "-l/var/log/web100/web100srv.log".

Do the logs show anything?  The /var/log/fakewww.log file will contain a 
record of who is hitting the fakewww server.  By default the 
/usr/local/ndt/web100srv.log file contains records of who is running 
tests.  Port 7123 allows the web server (fakewww) to operate.  Are you 
getting the web page back?  The fakewww.log file should contain something 
like this:

Oct 12 18:15:23 server started, listening on port 7123
Oct 13 01:23:29 [66.249.64.50] requested file '/robots.txt' - access denied
Oct 13 01:23:29 [66.249.64.50] requested file '/' - sent to client

The first line indicates the fakewww server process started.  The 2nd line 
indicates that a client at that IP address asked for the "robots.txt" file, 
which doesn't exist so the request was denied.  The 3rd line indicates that 
the main NDT web page was sent to this client.

If these entries don't exist, then the iptables config is not complete.
