Hi, ipchain has timeout. If you use ipmasq, see Z92timeouts.rul/def check -M option in man page. Make larger value.
Also Do you provide IP to DOZE machine by DHCP? I assume you have fixed IP. But this may give random IP upon reboot. Also ISP issue, In order to protect you from ISP control over running server, I suggest you to close external NIC's port by ipchain command in ipmasq. ATT checks port for news for me. This also prevents most port scan activity to me, I think. I have my recipe here this prevent almost all port 1-1023. http://www.aokiconsulting.com/quick/ch-tune.html#s5.3 Content is old and I may use somewhat modified version but you can get idea.

SPAM was issue. BTW, I run ssh at 8080 so I can get throgh most simple firewall and will not be caught running server. -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ + Osamu Aoki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, GnuPG-key: 1024D/D5DE453D + + My debian quick-reference, http://www.aokiconsulting.com/quick/ +
