We use Firewall-1 for NAT (incoming and outgoing), PAT, VPN connections and (obviously) as a plain firewall. Last week after I rebooted (shutdown -i6 -g0 -y) the firewall came back up only partially working.
Outgoing NAT and VPN connections worked as did PAT and NAT when going through the VPN. However I later realized that NAT from the outside didn't work. Nothing unusual at the time was being shown through the log viewer. I was able to fix this after a recompile of the rules from the Policy Editor. When replacing an old firewall with this new one, I did a lot of unplugging and plugging in of NIC cards while the servers were still running, and had the same problems. Most things would work once I plugged the NIC back in, but some things wouldn't be working, in all sorts of combinations. All these problems were fixed with a ruleset recompile. Restarting the firewall daemons or the server itself at this point didn't help. I'm running Firewall-1 NG FP2 with Solaris 8 on a V100 machine prior to this we were using an Ultra 10 with NG FP2, both have this same problem. Anyone else run across this? I can reproduce (and fix) this problem (a little too) easily, and I'm worried it's a sign of a bigger problem.
