Solved it just now! My hunch was that once the ADSL router received an http request on 192.168.254.254 tcp port 80, it replies on the same port. When the firewall is set to DENY these packets they're just logged, dropped and ignored, the router gets no indication that the data has been received, so retries and retries and retries forever. I set the firewall to let these packets from this address and port pass through with : $IPCH -I input 1 -j ACCEPT -p tcp -s 192.168.254.254 80 ! -y -d 0/0 -i $EXTERN_IF So now (I suppose) the ADSL router can serve it's status page data properly, get whatever response it expects from the browser, and stop sending data. Thanks to everyone who helped.
