I've got an odd iptables issue going on. Here's the setup. Host A is using mod_jk to connect to host B running a tomcat instance on port 9009. It will work fine for a while and then I start getting denies for no reason. When the denies start happening, the website I'm trying to bring up freezes in the middle of the page. If I click stop and reload the page sometimes it will come up, sometimes it will not and I will continue getting denies. Also when its in the middle of loading a page and it freezes, if I flush all the iptables rules out the page will load. I'm running Fedora Core 3 on both machines, Here are my iptables rules: ------------------------------------------ *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :RH-Firewall-1-INPUT - [0:0] -A INPUT -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A FORWARD -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 9009 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8009 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 9080 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 161 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-reply -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j LOG --log-level info --log-prefix "IPTABLES -- DENY " -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited COMMIT ------------------------------------------ These are the Denies: ------------------------------------------ Mar 30 09:27:10 mel kernel: IPTABLES -- DENY IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:09:6b:ff:45:08:00:07:e9:23:e0:88:08:00 SRC=10.10.0.28 DST=10.10.0.10 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=7193 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=41149 DPT=9009 WINDOW=10872 RES=0x00 ACK URGP=0 Mar 30 09:27:10 mel kernel: IPTABLES -- DENY IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:09:6b:ff:45:08:00:07:e9:23:e0:88:08:00 SRC=10.10.0.28 DST=10.10.0.10 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=7195 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=41149 DPT=9009 WINDOW=10872 RES=0x00 ACK URGP=0 Mar 30 09:27:10 mel kernel: IPTABLES -- DENY IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:09:6b:ff:45:08:00:07:e9:23:e0:88:08:00 SRC=10.10.0.28 DST=10.10.0.10 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=7197 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=41149 DPT=9009 WINDOW=10872 RES=0x00 ACK URGP=0 Mar 30 09:27:10 mel kernel: IPTABLES -- DENY IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:09:6b:ff:45:08:00:07:e9:23:e0:88:08:00 SRC=10.10.0.28 DST=10.10.0.10 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=7199 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=41149 DPT=9009 WINDOW=10872 RES=0x00 ACK URGP=0 Mar 30 09:27:10 mel kernel: IPTABLES -- DENY IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:09:6b:ff:45:08:00:07:e9:23:e0:88:08:00 SRC=10.10.0.28 DST=10.10.0.10 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=7201 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=41149 DPT=9009 WINDOW=10872 RES=0x00 ACK URGP=0------------------------------------------ I can't imagine what on earth would be causing this.
