Thanks, of course I know that. I just listed the plausible cause.

Would you please carefully review this line from first post:

You can see that 1) (s)he has root privileges, and 2) a word 'dmz' 
in hostname implies the host has some kind of packet filter.

I agree with you on this.
What I just don't understand(or like :) was that you just removed 
the possiblity of packet filter from your 'all of the information'

I just don't want to (mis)use their trademarks in my messages without

P.S.
  Please send your reply only to my e-mail address on this topic,
  especially bottom half, unless it is necessary.
  I don't want to make others on this list disgusted anymore for almost 
  nothing related to MRTG. I'm not clever enough to cease my passion :)
