Hi,
I have a Sunfire V120, sparc64, OpenBSD 3.9 performing NAT and assorted
firewall duties. It is working 100%, including proxying ftp requests
from the internal network.
Today I went to do an FTP directly from the server (perl CPAN), and it
failed.
Looking at blocked packets, I see that packets coming in to the ftp port
(tcpdump -r /var/log/pflog) are being blocked.
Knowing a bit about ftp, I think I can understand why.
Have you tried ensuring that your CPAN module is configured to use
passive mode FTP?

This may prove a good workaround to having to tweak your firewall
config to compensate.
