Well, I was wrong.  It was not iptables related.  After getting iptables
disabled, we found that normal services were accessible, but xinetd services
were not.  We also found that xinetd was upgraded in the last security patch
we installed.

'downgrading' to the version of xinetd that we were using before has
fixed the problem.  Obviously this is not a good long-term fix...hopefully
the next xinetd update will resolve the issue that bit us.

Thanks for the help!
Chris
