I've seen this exact result too from a transparent proxy sitting in the way - though The output looked as though the TCP packets were reaching the server, it was the Transparent proxy doing it. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gaddis, Jeremy L.

I'd want to look at the logs on the host, both messages and secure. If that were the case, the server would never respond to the initial SYN, preventing the connection from ever being established.
