If I took this off-topic...I'm sorry for the extra traffic...but your first
post said that when your firewall sees a delay of more than 40 seconds, it
blocks all *replies* back to that high port.  Sounded like timeouts on the
reply traffic to me...if you posted follow-up w/ more details I missed it in
the cross fire.
