Hi,

I have a strange problem with a Gateway Cluster made from two Nokia IP650s 
running IPSO 3.2.1 and FW-1 version 4.1 SP1 DES.  There are 2 VIPs 
configured for the internal network, one ordinarily residing on each box. 
Some internal browsers are set to proxy at one VIP for http, others at the 
other (to load balance outbound http).

The management server downloads a seemingly identical security policy to the 
IP650s which are members of the gateway cluster.  (The conf directory has 
files that are the same date / length etc.)

I'm using User Authentication for outbound http (no resources etc, just 
source-user@internal destination-any protocol-http action-userauth).

Browsers proxying at one VIP get authenticated and everything works fine.  
When proxying at the other VIP, FW-1 comes back with fw-1 at machine access 
denied without even prompting for authentication.

Network traces indicate that the module that isn't working queries DNS to 
resolve the requested hostname, receives a valid reply then sends the denied 
message back to the browser.

I don't understand how this can be happening given that the same security 
policy is supposedly installed on both of the modules.

Other services work fine through the weirdly behaving machine.  It's only 
when the http security server gets involved that the weirdness begins.

Any Ideas?

Matt
