I rather think now this isn't a masquerading problem at all. I have no
idea, actually what it is. From an internal (masqueraded) box, I issue:
blackjesus:/usr/src> telnet nfs.sourceforge.net 80
Trying 198.186.203.44...
Connected to nfs.sourceforge.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
HEAD / HTTP/1.0
Host: nfs.sourceforge.net
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 17 May 2000 22:36:57 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) PHP/3.0.15
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html
Connection closed by foreign host.
* Which means an HTTP HEAD is coming back fine. However, when I try and
issue a
blackjesus:/usr/src> telnet nfs.sourceforge.net 80
Trying 198.186.203.44...
Connected to nfs.sourceforge.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.0
Host: nfs.sourceforge.net
(... time passes)
* I'm left hung (left this on for minutes with nothing ever coming back),
for no reason. Nothing ever hits my incoming interface again.
This does not happen on my gateway, which has a real IP, but I now think
this has only to do with port numbers. Could this be.. *gasp* an ident
problem?! Network security blocking high port numbers? Anyone?
Cheers,
