Assuming you're doing NAT for those connections, I think this is fixed
in RELENG_5 by

  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/contrib/pf/net/pf.c.diff?r1=1.18.2.5&r2=1.18.2.6&f=h

Either apply that patch manually to your 5.3 sources, or update the
entire tree to RELENG_5 (which is close to 5.4R now).
