New connections on port 443

Hi
When I browse a web site using SSL, a few minutes later (even after my
browser is closed), the website I was browsing is tring to establish new
connections on port 443. These connections are blocked to protect from
SYN flooding.
Is this normal behaviour for SSL?
This is the rule that blocks the !SYNs from the internet :
iptables -A INPUT -i $IFACE_INET -p tcp ! --syn -state --state NEW -j
DROP
Any ideas?
Ray
