Gentlemen,

Thank you!  That cleared things up perfectly.  ppp0 had the MTU set for 1492; however, none of the other interfaces did (including eth1 which I failed to mention was actually the path to ppp0).  You are both gentlemen and scholars.

Thanks again!

Ryan

For example, penny-arcade.com, americanexpress.com SSL logins, and a few others.  If you want to poke at this configuration, penny-arcade will appear to begin connection but after the SYN, ACK, then HTTP GET sequence, the HTTP response never gets here (according to Ethereal anyways).  If I try connecting from the actual firewalling box itself, it works fine.

sounds like the classic description of an MTU issue.
