Yes, I can access Apache on port 80.  I am using "RewriteRules" and have 
been looking at the logs and don't see anything odd.  I just can't 
figure out why the iptables rules don't allow me to access sites that 
should only need port 80 to work. If I remove the first rule above, all 
works fine which tends to make me think that input through some other 
port is necessary.  Makes no sense to me since I should only need port 
80.  Anyone out there using IPTables in front of an Apache/Zope 
configuration?
