Hello,
We have a strange problem with ClusterXL HA mode, version NGX R65, platform Solaris 9.

Example:
External net 210.1.1.0/24
Cluster external IP 210.1.1.1
Member 1 external IP 210.1.1.2
Member 2 external IP 210.1.1.3

Member 1 is primary, Member 2 - secondary.

Internal net 10.1.1.0/24
Cluster internal IP 10.1.1.1
Member 1 internal IP 10.1.1.2
Member 2 internal IP 10.1.1.3

Cluster synchronization - broadcast.

Host in the internal network has IP 10.1.1.10, NATed to 210.1.1.10.

When we try to access this internal host from external network, connected to the cluster (for example, client host has IP 210.1.1.100), we have a long timeout. After that timeout connection established fine.

We have investigated, that, when there's no arp record on our client host for IP 210.1.1.10, first arp-reply returned active cluster's member MAC on external interface with wrong two last bytes. The second arp-reply returns correct MAC.

Let's Member 1 has external MAC 14:10:12:5f:5a:11, Member 2 12:10:0a:5f:eb:01. Member 1 is active.

The first arp-reply for 210.1.1.10 returns MAC 14:10:12:5f:8f:14, we have timeout, because there is no computer with such MAC. The second arp-reply returns 14:10:12:5f:5a:11 and connection established fine.

If Member 2 is active, then first arp-replay returns MAC 12:10:0a:5f:8f:14, the second - 12:10:0a:5f:eb:01.

Member 2 has hme card on external net, Member 1 - bge card. local-mac-address?=true on both computers.
