Someone else suggested that this is a DNS problem. I'm not exactly sure what
the problem is, but it is certainly not a DNS issue. One possibility is that
your masquerading entries are timing out too quickly. Type "ipchains -L -v"
after doing some tests and check the packet counts. If you are seeing
something like this: "Chain forward (policy DENY: 1856 packets, 350238
bytes)", you probably have the timeout problem.
