I do a scp both times only from the client to the server:

client:# scp file [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/
This works. The client sends the first packets with a mtu which doesn´t fit 
into the tunnel and recieves ICMP UNREACHABLE Need to fragment.

client:# scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/file .
This doesn´t work. The Realserver tries to send packets which doesn´t fit into 
the tunnel but DOES NOT receive any ICMP packet.

I tried setting sysctl nat_icmp_send to 1 but that doesn´t change the behaviour 
at all.
There was only one attempt which worked (the realserver got an ICMP UNREACHABLE 
NEED TO FRAG)  but unfortunately I can´t reproduce it.

So the realserver is never going to realise that it´s packets are too big.

I think, that´s the gist of the matter.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
Have a nice weekend.

cheers

Marco
