As an FYI, the ASA/Pix packet capture cannot currently be completely
trusted (version 8.0).  I found an annoying bug where I would capture
the frame on a span session monitoring the port connected to the
firewall, but it wouldn't show up on the firewall capture.

The packet in question was also being dropped by the firewall, but with
no logging (and with a permit ip any any rule in place).  The 'fix' was
to apply a nat translation and then remove it.  TAC was completely
unhelpful (worst ever TAC experience).

Blocking outbound sessions on the firewall also means that it can't be
used to bounce an attack, if compromised.

Thanks,
Josh
