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.

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.

Greetings,
   Jörg :-)
