This was on a box that had a regular set of OPEN rules.
i.e.
00100 allow ip from any to any via lo0
00200 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8
65000 allow ip from any to any
65535 deny ip from any to any
Also, in terms of queue drops, the fastforwarding did make a small
difference, but I still am seeing a series of drops somewhere between 5 and
10min. If you think it would be useful to track down to see if it is
exactly some interval, I can do so.
