SubjectRe: PRIV: 2.1.102: ipchains: REJECT does only DENY - network gurus please

Well, I don't find the above statement to be the case (in 2.1.102).
If I set all firewall chains to ACCEPT, i.e. ipchains -L gives:
Chain input (policy ACCEPT):
Chain forward (policy ACCEPT):
Chain output (policy ACCEPT):

then the packets from the client taliesin to the unreachable DNS server
berlin.snafu.de via the server zahn get no negative ack.

tcpdump in this case:

17:17:38.288219 arp who-has zahn tell taliesin
17:17:38.288370 arp reply zahn is-at 0:60:97:b4:8:83
17:17:38.288541 taliesin.1029 > berlin.snafu.de.nameserver: 1+ (37)
17:17:43.321813 taliesin.1029 > berlin.snafu.de.nameserver: 1+ (37)
