Dear Eric G,

My snort sensor is behind a NAT router with Stateful Packet Inspection
(SPI)
firewall. My HOME_NET is 192.168.1.0/24 <http://192.168.1.0/24>. I
usually run
nmap and nessus scans from the internal network against my PUBLIC IP
address.

that means that your scans are HOME_NET -> HOME_NET *IF* you have your
external
public address listed in your HOME_NET...

if you do not have your public address in your HOME_NET then you are
scanning
HOME_NET -> EXTERNAL_NET...

in both cases, if you are expecting EXTERNAL_NET -> HOME_NET rules to
fire, you
are misunderstanding how the rules work... you have to scan from a machine
that
is outside your HOME_NET...
