What about outgoing allowed ports?

I'm not sure about shutdown, but if your server (or application) is
configured to use, say, an XML document with a SYSTEM ID that points to
an outside URL (for instance: http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd),
the XML parser might be attempting to access that URL. If your firewall
is preventing outgoing HTTP connections (good old port 80), it might
waste a lot of time re-trying before it finally gives up and reads
non-validated XML).

I would change your iptables configuration to set all outgoing rejected
requests to LOG as well as reject, and then you can watch the iptables
log (usually the "kernel" log on Debian IIRC) for requests to foreign
hosts on port 80.

Hope that helps,
