Well I got my leased line at the weekend and duely installed a very tight
firewall (Godot's gShield - definitely recommended for ipchains novices).
However when I have the firewall running mod_perl requests crash out with
"illegal instruction". Has anyone else come across this? Normal apache
requests execute just fine.
This does seem to be an intermittent problem too - only occuring if I stop
and start the firewall and httpd in a certain order. Its working right now
for example.
I guess the question is - what's mod_perl doing that normal requests
aren't? Do I need to open up UDP or ICMP or something?
