Ah, you have set up strong input filtering.  Yep, that will interfere 
with passive mode FTP to your gateway server, as well as active mode 
FTP from a client running on the gateway.

1. N/A, because: 2. Yes and 3. Yes.

It looks like the IPCHAINS patches posted today address exactly this 
issue for 2.2.x kernels.  Other than that, I think you will have to 
not block the unrestricted ports coming in the external interface, if 
you want to support PASV from the unmasqueraded server.
