Hey there folks,

We're running into an issue with our LDAP servers where legitimate packets are being intermittently (say 1/10000) rejected by iptables. They match one of our ACCEPT rules, yet still get rejected (we're seeing the return ICMP traffic).

I don't yet have any evidence to support this, but I'm thinking that we're bumping up against some sort of internal netfilter limit--perhaps with connection tracking or stateful matching.

The problem seems to have cropped up in moving from RHEL 5 to RHEL 6.

The rules in question:

What should be hit:
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -s 129.64.0.0/255.255.0.0 -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 636 -j ACCEPT

What is actually being hit:
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

Anyone run into this sort of problem before?

John
