Hi there,

I have a little problem. I had this some months ago but didn't solve it 
back then. I have patched my kernel with Layer 7 support and patched my 
iptables to support it, too.
Now I inserted this line in my firewall script on my router for testing 
purpose:

  $IPTABLES -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o $INET_IFACE -p tcp -m layer7 
--l7proto http -j DROP

It works, BUT only if the connection is established by a pc BEHIND the 
router (the connection is blocked). If I try to establish a http 
connection from the router itself it works completely (layer 7 is NOT 
working, the connection is working, thats what I wanted to say *g*.
Now I changed the line above to this:

  $IPTABLES -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o $INET_IFACE -p tcp --dport 80 -j 
DROP

and see, it works in BOTH cases. But thats no solution as I need Layer 7 
also for router-connections. I also tried ftp als layer7 protocol, same 
thing.

Anyone has an idea why this is happening?

Thanks in advance.
