Perhaps, but that does not make me an expert on the funkiness of every 
piece of security-related software.  :)

Nah, nothing dynamic at all. Even if it were, this is not a host or even 
port level issue... When it is not working, notice nmap shows all other 
ports as **closed** (meaning no filtering is happening, meaning iptables 
is not even intercepting packets at all), versus when it is working, all 
other ports show **filtered** (meaning iptables is grabbing the packets 
and doing its thing).
