Hello,

    We are currently facing a strange problem since we upgraded one of the 
installations to NG FP1.

     The configuration is as follows :

        a. Internal management server, using a 10.0.7.* address, NAT'ted to an 
official address

        b. Firewall module, still at 4.1-SP5, sits in front of this management server

        c. Several External Firewall modules, getting their policy from a. and logging 
to a.

     The problem is the following, when the $FWDIR/masters file contains the Internal 
management
        server name, none of the Firewall modules can fetch their security policy, 
either at boot
        time or using the fw fetch <management name> command, and the logging fails 
too.

      If we replace the name by the External name in the $FWDIR/masters file, the 
logging works
        but not the fetch.

     The only way we made the fetch work is by deleting the object for the External 
name of the
        management server and creating a group including his IP address, but at that 
moment the
        logging stops working.

     I think we are missing something ... but can't find what, even looking in the CP 
doc doesn't help.

     Is anyone running a distributed NG FP1 environment and wanting to share some of 
his config
        files, off-line of course, with me, so I can dig in them to find the 
differences ?

     I am pretty sure this has something to do with that bl**** SIC stuff but can't 
see what.

Met vriendelijke groeten - Bien � vous - Kind regards
