That should have no effect.  He's not going through the WAN.  This is a 
packet from LAN to DMZ.  Wan rules should not touch it.  I can only say, 
I see this same exact behavior on my box, but do not notice any problems 
it causes.  Even though the packets show as blocked, they don't seem to 
really be blocked.
