The connection was reset

[Douglas Stanley]

Ok...I appologize list...I did some deeper tests and some packet
captures and it looks like a weird network problem. Probably either
the weird iptables setup I have or my stupid hosting provider.

Problem doesn't seem to be nginx at all...(I'm sure you guys already
figured that much though).

Thanks again for the responses I did get. I appreciate the effort.

Thanks again,
Doug

p.s. I love nginx...you need t-shirts with that on it...
