I've set up a little Gentoo server at work that I believe experiences exactly the same thing. I'll confirm tomorrow, but for the time being I'll list some details of how it's configured network-wise. * one interface with multiple IPs * IP fowarding enabled * TCP packets with destination of port 80 redirected to localhost * connection tracking for everything the kernel supports * traffic shaping for both incoming and outgoing traffic That's all that I can remember at the moment. If you could supply the same thing, we can use the similarities to hopefully track the source of the problem down. Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
