Well, so far, all you have given us is a log message, one rule, and a
"It works sometimes".

Given that the rule you posted doesn't include a log level, but a log
message is being produced, I am wondering if the fw->net policy is
ACCEPT with a log level specified. If that is the case, then I can
understand that you would be concerned that the rule is somehow not
being effective.

For these types of problems, the output of 'shorewall dump' collected as
described at http://www.shorewall.net/support.htm#Guidelines is most
helpful to us.

Thanks,
