Funny.. What firewall are you using? anything like shorewall/firewallbuilder etc? It could be that firewall logs are being rotated etc and killing the process. eg: portsentry in box will kill off shorewall and retstart it every 6 hours. and it will force my masq rules to go haywire. I needed to restart shorewall after it portsentry reloads.
