Well, traditionally, the "reload" operation has not generally been
supported on singleshot services (which iptables.service is), however, a
patch was recently committed upstream which I suspect you will like:
<A HREF="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=2abba39d759bacebd7461f7370bb108f48dcce92">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=2abba39d759bacebd7461f7370bb108f48dcce92</A>
This is now available in cauldron, but the iptables.service file needs
to be updated to include the correct line in the unit:
ExecReload=/usr/lib64/iptables.init reload
I'll make a note to update the iptables package (but someone is welcome
to beat me to it).
