Hi guys,

We have a Check Point FP3 (standalone) running un Solaris 2.8, we did a
migration to Check Point R55 on SPLAT using
upgrade_import/upgrade_export utility. Everything looked great: we could
log on to the SmartCenter, we installed policies, rules and VPNs looked
like were working well.
However we have two different ISP links, one for the internet traffic
and the other to make a VPN against other Check Point 4.1 gateway. I was
curious about which ISP was working with the VPN, so I ran a tcpdump on
the "VPN interface" finding out that there was a little amount of
traffic going out through that interface.
In fact, ISP stats shows a decrease in the traffic flow. So, I made
another tcpdump on the other interface, finding out that there was
encrypted requests from the other VPN gateway. I disconnected the "so
called" VPN link and some VPN traffic remained active(HTTP traffic).
This happens regardless of static routes sending both remote encryption
domain and remote gateway through the "VPN link".
I suspect that the other Check Point 4.1 VPN gateway is pointing to the
wrong IP address (we don't manage it), however when I connect the old
firewall everything works correctly... I mean when I disconnect the "VPN
link", all VPN traffic goes down.
In conclusion, I need your help, does somebody had a problem like this?
Do you think that the 4.1 gateway is pointing to the wrong IP address
too?
Could it be a difference in the handling of VPNs, routes or something
like that between FP3 and R55 or Solaris and SPLAT?

I'm really puzzled, hope you can help me, :)

Thanks,
