I've tried binding to the machine's internet IP address and to 0.0.0.0, with 
the same results. The server is just not ever seeing the connection unless it 
comes from 127.0.0.1 -- the machine's own internet IP address won't even 
connect. 

I've confirmed that it's not my server's allow/deny rules at fault, by 
printing to STDERR on every connection before anything else happens. When it 
doesn't work, it's not making any noise at all, and all I see is iplogger 
making notes in /etc/syslog.

Back to hair-tearing and swearing...
