Our /etc/hosts.deny has no entries.  /etc/hosts.allow has one
entry:  "ALL:"

I'm convinced this is somehow iptables or firewall related because I can
telnet into our webserver via port 80 from the server, but not from any
other machines.

I have used lokkit to turn of the firewall completely (which removes
the /etc/sysconfig/iptables config file).  I have shutdown the iptables
service.
