how do you filter icmp messages? in particular, how do you filter
outgoing fragmentation-needed icmp messages (see ipchains -h icmp)?
if the page is too big and you deny outgoing fragmentation needed, you
can have symptoms like this.
from [1]:
If this is happening, typical symptoms include the ability for small
packets (eg. request a very small web page) to get through, but larger
ones (eg. a large web page) will simply hang. This situation can be
confusing to the novice administrator because they obviously have some
connectivity to the host, but it just stops working for no obvious
reason on certain transfers.
my $0.02. hope it helps.
