Firewall Gurus et al ...

Anyone experienced the following "external interface" enforcement as 
follows on NGX R65, I've not encountered this behaviour with previous 
versions ???

Platform:
Nokia IP290
Nokia IPSO 4.2 (Build42)
NGX R65 (HFA02)


In SmartDashboard, when creating the firewall clusters/gateways and 
retrieving the interfaces topology, all interfaces (cluster/internal/sync 
etc.) are retrieved correctly.  However, since NGX R65 it seems to 
choose/enforce which interfaces will be designated as "external", it seems 
to make this decision based on the "default route" and seems to be 
selected after the first policy install.  If I override this and designate 
any other interface as "external" then policy install fails, however, no 
errors or drops etc.  Most likely a spoofing issue, however, I've not seen 
this behaviour before with prevous versions.  I suppose I could override 
this with "external.if".  Your advice is appreciated.


Many thanx

Andrew
