	Nope. Didn't do anything to the director. I ran the iptable command on 
both realservers. Something to note regarding that POST test in the HOWTO:

	On IE6/7: When you submit the post, the page just reloads. No data posted.

	On Firefox/Netscape: You actually get a "Bad Request" page.

But after the "patch" was applied to the realservers, all browsers 
showed the POST data.
