That traffic still shouldn't need to go external.

Upgrading is usually a good idea, but we still haven't seen any evidence of bugs in diald. The issue is diald configuration for your situation and recompiling diald isn't likely to change that. > [...diald filter project...] > hmmmm I'm game.....anyone-else?

See the diald man page for turning on detailed debugging. > Should I use tcpdump? Diald logs are the first place to look, but yes, seeing what happens on the network is another way. In any case, this is now straying a long way from development, so the rest is up to you.
