Mea culpa. I really should have given you more to go on. :-(

That said, when looking at a tcpdump -netttvvvi pflog0 port 80, it was
as you suspected: pf apparently wasn't selecting an appropriate
translation rule so connections were getting blocked my the default
block rule.

As described, simply changing to rule to this:
rdr on $ext inet proto tcp from any             to <web_servers_ext>
port 80    -> \
        <web_servers_int> round-robin sticky-address

makes everything pass through like a champ. Now to grab an updated
3.6-stable. :-)


Thanks so much.
Kevin
