Since Zope seems to not be seeing the request, I'm guessing it's your 
firewall. Can you tell by the blinking lights whether the packets are 
appearing on the other side? How about packet logging on the Zope server?

It's quite possible that the output chain is blocking high ports, so 
even if the forward works, it still isn't getting through. Check your 
rules for this.

Most likely a Shorewall or some other firewall list will be of more help.
