apache2.0.40+mod_ssl2.0.40-21.9 install. HTTPS works only from HTTP server machine

I have reached a point where I believe I need some help. My goal is to install
apache + mod_ssl. I am using RedHat 9, openssl0.9.7a, apache2.0.40 and
mod_ssl2.0.40-21.9. First off, I am pretty sure that apache2.0.40 with
mod_ssl2.0.40-21.9 and openssl0.9.7a are setup up properly because
openssl compiled (and tested) successfully, and so did apache. A listing of the
apache static modules reads:[root@firewall bin]# ./httpd -l
Compiled in modules:
core.c
mod_access.c
mod_include.c
mod_log_config.c
mod_env.c
mod_setenvif.c
mod_ssl.c
prefork.c
http_core.c
mod_mime.c
mod_status.c
mod_autoindex.c
mod_asis.c
mod_cgi.c
mod_negotiation.c
mod_dir.c
mod_imap.c
mod_actions.c
mod_userdir.c
mod_alias.c
mod_so.c

The SSL directives are recognized when starting apache. As a matter of
fact, the pass phrase is requested and ultimately the following files are
created in my logs directory:
[root@firewall root]# ls -lah /usr/local/apache2/logs
total 84K
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Jan 26 16:57 .
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4.0K Jan 26 14:01 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 26 15:51 access_log

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 936 Jan 26 16:51 http-access_log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 Jan 26 16:57 httpd.pid
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 637 Jan 26 16:43 http-error_log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 171 Jan 26 16:46 https-access_log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 46K Jan 26 16:57 https-error_log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 205 Jan 26 16:46 ssl_request_log
-rw-r--r-- 1 apache root 0 Jan 26 16:57 ssl_scache.dir
-rw-r--r-- 1 apache root 0 Jan 26 16:57 ssl_scache.pag

In the end, the most likely cause of the problem is the SSL session
information since I can connect to the https server through the server
itself but not through any other machine in the network. This is
mentioned in the modssl.org site:
"For requests to the same server process (via HTTP keep-alive), OpenSSL
already caches the SSL session information locally. But because modern
clients request inlined images and other data via parallel requests
(usually up to four parallel requests are common) those requests are
served by different pre-forked server processes."

I've used the curl https://x.x.x.x and 'openssl s_client -connect
192.168.123.108:443 -state -debug' methods for testing the setup. Below the
listing of my httpd.conf, ssl.conf and https-error_log file I will paste the
session during the openssl connect to my machine from my machine. The curl and
openssl commands from another machine within the LAN just hang. I also know
that it is not a browser problem because I attempted this on Netscape 7.1. My
private key length is 1024 bits. Do you have any suggestions? Lastly, I made
sure that my servername matches my certificate (I made it the IP address of
the machine). A way to solve this problem or even a way of manually test the
https server are welcome.
thanx

The firewall is not allowing traffic on port 443. I checked it out
and all works well. Sorry if I inconvenienced anyone. For those that
are still unsure of how the apache+mod_ssl setup goes here are the
steps:
-------openssl0.9.7a, mod_ssl-2.0.40-21.9.src.rpm,
httpd-2.0.40-21.9.src.rpm
1. install openssl
2. rpm -Uvh mod_ssl....
nothing goes into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES but it does install
3. rpm -Uvh httpd-2.0.40-21.9.src.rpm
4. tar -xzvf /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/httpd-2.0.40.tar.gz
5. cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/httpd-2.0.40
6. ./configure --with-perl --enable-ssl --enable-mods=most
--with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl

Make sure that after apache is compiled the following command shows
the module mod_ssl.c
'./httpd -DSSL' assuming you are in the new apache bin directory.
