Hi,
I've done a quick network analysis to better understand the problem.

Basically I've a client A (192.168.20.174) which tries to connect to sunrpc
on server B (132.147.160.216). The problem is that 132.147.160.216 is an IP
alias on server B (its real IP is 132.147.160.194). So it gets the sunrpc
request on 132.147.160.216 but answers with 132.147.160.194 as you can see
below).
Eth1 is the network interface on 132.147.160.x and eth3 is the nic on
192.168.20.0
Let's see the network dump:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# tcpdump -n -i eth1 host 192.168.20.174 and host
132.147.160.216 or host 132.147.160.194
tcpdump: listening on eth1
11:37:23.241180 192.168.20.174.33167 > 132.147.160.216.sunrpc:  udp 56 (DF)
11:37:23.242535 132.147.160.194.sunrpc > 192.168.20.174.33167:  udp 28 (DF)
(nothing)
2 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel


[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# tcpdump -n -i eth3 host 192.168.20.174 and host
132.147.160.216 or host 132.147.160.194
tcpdump: listening on eth3
11:37:34.094396 192.168.20.174.33168 > 132.147.160.216.sunrpc:  udp 56 (DF)
(nothing)

So basically, the answers comes to eth1 but nevers goes out on eth3.
Furthermore I cannot see any droped paquet on my firewalls logs. More weird,
sometimes the paquet goes out on et3 and sometimes it doesn't.
Maybe this is a bug in FW1 ?
Has someone experienced this before ?
