Nix networking nat fails iptables configuration

Help
1

I am attempting to set up DNAT on my server. Here is my (probably wrong) configuration for DNAT:

networking.nat.enable = true;
networking.nat.dmzHost = "localhost";
networking.nat.externalInterface = "bond0";
networking.nat.forwardPorts = [
{
destination = "192.168.122.109:1024-10240";
proto = "tcp";
sourcePort = "1024:10240";
}
{
destination = "192.168.122.109:1024-10240";
proto = "udp";
sourcePort = "1024:10240";
}
{
destination = "192.168.122.126:1024-10240";
proto = "tcp";
sourcePort = "10241:20481";
}
{
destination = "192.168.122.126:1024-10240";
proto = "udp";
sourcePort = "10241:20481";
}
];
networking.nat.internalInterfaces = ["virbr0"];

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but for some reason, the firewall service is failing with this error:

firewall-reload[28238]: iptables v1.8.3 (legacy): unknown option "--set-mark"
firewall-reload[28238]: Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
firewall-reload[28238]: Failed to reload firewall... Stopping

So, some questions:

  1. Why is iptables in “legacy” mode and how do I pull it into “modern” mode?
  2. Have I messed something up in the above configuration?

I am attempting to make a couple VMs available to people outside my server so that they can play with NixOS for a bit, but this is preventing me from doing so.

Update: OK, so I’ve fixed the initial problem, but now the ports aren’t being showed as being available over nmap. I’ve even forwarded the ports through the firewall and no go. My configuration now looks like this:

networking.nat.enable = true;
networking.nat.externalInterface = "bond0";
networking.nat.forwardPorts = [
{
destination = "192.168.122.109:1024-10240";
proto = "tcp";
sourcePort = "1024:10240";
}
{
destination = "192.168.122.109:29999";
proto = "tcp";
sourcePort = 30000;
}
{
destination = "192.168.122.109:1024-10240";
proto = "udp";
sourcePort = "1024:10240";
}
{
destination = "192.168.122.126:1024-10240";
proto = "tcp";
sourcePort = "10241:20481";
}
{
destination = "192.168.122.126:29999";
proto = "tcp";
sourcePort = 30001;
}
{
destination = "192.168.122.126:1024-10240";
proto = "udp";
sourcePort = "10241:20481";
}
];
networking.nat.internalInterfaces = ["virbr0"];
