> The way the code works if you want to send through the firewall (i.e.   SERVER->FIREWALL->SERVER)  I split the process into two threads.  One is listening on the egress, then I send on the ingress.  The main waits until the thread finishes (it times out after 2 seconds).  I had to do this b/c scapy (the library I used) won't let me send pcaps while I receive them.  This lets me see packets on both sides (i.e. did that sort of internet traffic go through the firewall).   The reason I think this could be a problem is when I ran a test where I sent to the firewall (rather than through it) and my program does not need to thread the webserver works fine......

	Other than the simplistic "don't do that"...

	You may be encountering the style of situation that FTP PASSIVE mode
is most used for -- getting past a firewall that is blocking inbound
connections (as I recall, much simplified, plain FTP initiates a
connection outbound, and then the server responds by initiating a
connection back; passive mode has the server responding on the same
connection that was used for the initial outbound traffic) 

{It has been way too long since I've coded any low-level network
traffic}
