Many, many thanks for your afford. It's a lot of work to test such a non-standard setup. So sad, that you couldn't reproduce the problem. > I can only conclude that this issue is something unique to your > configuration.

Lenny vs. Squeeze means a different Linux-Kernel (2.6.26 vs. 2.6.32) and maybe that is already the point. I've had a look into the other parts of the system for example the involved network card (bnx2). And i still think it has something to do with the NIC driver. In the end i installed a new kernel (2.6.36) and the problem was gone. Yes, really, that simple. But it's a bit frustrating not to know the real cause of the issue. The 2.6.32 kernel is one of the long supported kernels that's why i didn't want to change that if not really nessecary. Maybe i should contact the kernel developers, but the problem seems hard to reproduce. Sorry, that i suspected your software to be the root of the problems and you had so much work with it. Shorewall is a great and damn flexible piece of software. So, the problem is SOLVED, kind of.. Many thanks again.
