Got that right! ;-)

Just to avoid some further confusion on my part, are these valid
or not, and what can I add that will stop the block on the occasional 
outbound FIN:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d WW.XX.YY.ZZ --dport http
       -m state --state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s WW.XX.YY.ZZ --sport http
       -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

Thanks, seriously. I'm learning something new here today.
