Make sure you REJECT rather than DROP ident lookups on the director, or
even better configure the realservers to REJECT them in the OUTPUT chain
on the outgoing interface.

If they get DROPped, then the calling process will exhibit the exact
hangup you're seeing. This is very, very common in SMTP systems using
ident lookups with badly configured firewalls.
