I have reason to believe you're not the only one. :-)  In my most recent 
bookstore run, I picked up Red Hat Linux Firewalls 
(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764524631/qid=1039454171/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_2/104-0910638-8688724?v=glance&s=books&n=507846#product-details), 
which seems to have good descriptions of IP tables firewall building. 
I've had a number of project waiting a better comprehension of 
iptables, and hopefully this book will let me get there...

Try moving the clause *outside* your subnet scope.  I put the new option 
as the first line in my dhcpd.conf.
