sounds like the masqueraded connection may be timing out. you can set
the timeout with the -S option to ipchains...
-S, --set tcp tcpfin udp
Change the timeout values used for masquerading. This command always takes 3
parameters, representing the timeout values (in seconds) for TCP sessions, TCP
sessions after receiving a FIN packet, and UDP packets, respectively. A time�
out value 0 means that the current timeout value of the corresponding entry is
preserved. This option is only allowed in combination with the -M flag.
if you are using the newer iptables, there is probably something
similar.
