Lately I've been having problems with the FTP-helper.

It works initially, but then something times out when you aren't active and
FTP connections no longer make it out.

Example, I use the DOS FTP command to connect to an ftp server.

My PC -> LAN -> pfSense -> WAN -> Internet -> FTP server

Works great... but I stop issuing commands for a few minutes...  At that
point further attempts to connect to any FTP server from my PC fails.  I
watched the remote servers and they never get a connect attempt even.

Clearing the states and NAT tables doesn't fix it.  Only stopping the
FTP-Helper on pfSense and restarting it fixes the problem.

Also, it seems to also catch FTP connections going over the IPSec tunnel.
Shouldn't it only catch connections going over NAT (LAN<->WAN)?
