As you mentioned the issue is with your windows cluster MAC address, can does your cluster works fine without the firewall?? Like from the internal network? Maybe your multicast address is not working like it supposed to.
You should see the multicast address instead of the hosts mac address.

We have also recently completed an upgrade to our web server, and implemented a Microsoft Cluster for the Web site as well. Due to a problem with one of our firewall cluster members prior to our upgrade, we have not actually implemented the Microsoft Cluster with the Nokia Cluster as of yet. Our problem is when we attempt to run both the NOKIA Cluster and the Microsoft cluster together. With both clusters running, we are able to successfully communicate with all servers on the DMZ, and failover operates as expected when an interface is failed on either cluster member, so it appears that our Nokia cluster is operating successfully. However, when we attempt to connect to the Web Site Cluster address we bet no response, although we are able to communicate to each individual server at their local address. If we fail a network on either of the Nokia servers causing it to be removed from the cluster, communications with the Web Site cluster address is restored. The only thing I am able to see appears to be with the ARP table. When I monitor the ARP table while the Nokia Cluster is fully active, I see the IP address listed for the Microsoft Cluster, however it appears that the Nokia is unable to retrieve a MAC address associated. The MAC field remains blank and the timeout is set at about 30. the timeout resets as it times out, but the server never receives the appropriate MAC. As soon as a Nokia cluster member is removed, the server retrieves the MAC and communications proceeds, and as soon as the Nokia cluster is restored, the system looses the MAC and communications fails again. Has anyone seen this behaviour before that can direct me as to where to look to implement a fix.
