Yes, I saw that. Interestingly enough, this guy talks about how he
gets no matches on GRE packets, if his GRE rules are after rules dealing
with ESTABLISHED connections. I, on the other hand, get not matches on GRE
packets either way. I even moved my rules around after reading that post,
just to make sure the GRE stuff came first. No dice.
I'm not sure if the problem I'm having is indicative of a fundamental
problem
with netfilter or if I just have something configured incorrectly. Any
more thoughts or suggestions are definitely appreciated, however.
I guess I could try upgrading to the latest version of netfilter for
starters.... what could it hurt? :-)
