Do you have a cluster ? Have you checked that the cluster is in sync?
To get a better idea, you should run fw monitor on the firewall.

Beside after the upgrade, have you checked if routing in your firewall has not 
changed? 

Another question, the sql server has any kind of redundancy? I mean 2 network 
interfaces?

R65

Hi Oscar.

We have double-checked the routing tables... moreover, the connection
initially success but gets dropped after a while.
The routing config was the same when we had R60, and everything worked
fine; the problem appeared just when we upgraded the platform.

Thank you very much again.
