SYN, it doesn't seem to be a routing issue, and I can connect to my local interface on port 993 (NOT localhost) without problems.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this statement, but it sounds like you're saying you can connect to 993 on the local interface *from that machine*. So, what happens when you do a 'telnet <server> 993' from off the machine, do you at least get the standard '^]' banner?

I always debug starting from the outside in, not the inside out. This will rule out firewalls and the like being your problem, which tends to be the problem a lot of the time. Maybe during reboot some long-forgotten iptables rules got installed?
