technically it's the kernel doing the routing, iptables is just used to manage things.

But it's also not technically routing traffick if it just serves dhcp to the ipad on the local ad-hoc network, though routing traffick over bluetooth DUN is possible too.

In addition to iptables you some sort of dhcp server, dnsmasq can act as a lightweight one.

See my mobilehotspot backend script for some examples and there's the purer shell-script version too (both for n900 but principles are the same, it's all basic linux networking anyway)
