This, strictly speaking, isn't a Fedora problem, but I'm hoping someone
out there can help.
system config:
dell poweredge 2950
kernel: 2.6.22.9-61.fc6
apache: 2.2.6
problem summary: when iptables is turned on, web pages (graphics in
particular) served up from the box are *extremely* slow to load,
sometimes timing out. when iptables is turned off, web pages served up
from the box load normally. I've compared my /etc/sysconfig/iptables
file to another (fc6) server and they are effectively the same, *but*
I've never had a problem with page loads from the other box.
I'm assuming (yes, I know 8^) that the problem lies with iptables, but
I'm running out of places to look for answers. Should I be looking
somewhere other than the firewall? Has anyone else seen this? I'd
really appreciate any help anyone out there could give.
((beware of line wrapping))

...ok I did manually edit the file to add the http rule, but up until
now I've not had any problems doing that sort of thing. Iptables does
drive me just a bit crazy, but I do know enough to to that successfully
(up until now that is). Help! ...and thanks!
