+1 too.  I'm guessing this is freebsd.  There are some bugs with
ipfilter and freebsd that fall into this space, particularly around
checksumming and some intel nics etc.

for example , read through this bug

     That's what we had to do (on OpenSolaris SXCE). You can google up
     many hits on "dohwcksum ipfilter" keywords, including PhilDev's
     IPFilter FAQ. And yes, the problem is very old:

     "As is known, ipfilter NAT does not work correctly with hardware
     checksumming."
