Andrew, Although I don't run Redhat, your response tells me that, even though I was feeling that it was a kernel problem, it could be a userspace issue, which I also suspected. Debian updated their nettools today, so I will see if that helps in any way. Thanks for your help. If you think of anything else that might be an issue, please let me know.
