[chef] Re: Bizarre EOFError on Google Compute Engine, behind NAT

[Lamont Granquist < >]

Is the NAT gateway changing the Path MTU and have you broken PMTU 
discovery via blocking all ICMP with iptables or something similar?  
Also look at jumbo frames, etc.  You should be able to debug this with 
large ping packets, large GET/POST requests with curl/wget, or force 
the MTU on the interfaces on both ends of the connection lower until it 
starts working.
