600KB is not 4 times 100 MBit :)

2.4.19, SMP-enabled, P-II optimized. Should be fast enough.

I can try that.

iptables

No, not at all! Here's the relevant part.

$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $WAN -o $LAN -m state \
 --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $LAN -o $WAN -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -j LOG
$IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $WAN -j MASQUERADE

I don't think there's anything in there that would account for the
phenomenon. Maybe I'm looking in the completely wrong place?
