It almost looks like your zone launcher is connecting through localhost instead of your LAN address.

I run exclusively on localhost..so, I can't verify that atm.

It is worth noting that world does still appear to be listening on UDP9000 (in addition to TCP33000 and TCP33080), but I've got that forwarded on my router as well.

[eq@eq-emu server]$ ss -l4pn | grep 'world\|zone'
udp    UNCONN     0      0                      *:9000                  *:*      users:(("world",32532,9))
udp    UNCONN     0      0                      *:33100                 *:*      users:(("zone",32585,13))
udp    UNCONN     0      0                      *:33101                 *:*      users:(("zone",32595,13))
udp    UNCONN     0      0                      *:33102                 *:*      users:(("zone",32601,13))
udp    UNCONN     0      0                      *:33103                 *:*      users:(("zone",32609,13))
udp    UNCONN     0      0                      *:33104                 *:*      users:(("zone",32615,13))
tcp    LISTEN     0      0                      *:33000                 *:*      users:(("world",32532,6))
tcp    LISTEN     0      0                      *:33080                 *:*      users:(("world",32532,5))

Everything that's listening is doing it on all interfaces, though. If the zone daemon(s) are talking to world over loopback, is that a problem or would it be fine? I'd think fine as long as it's talking out to the client over the real interface, which it seems to be based on a wireshark screenshot I can't seem to upload to imgur haha...but maybe I'm crazy and that is indeed a problem?
