IP Filter doesn't get invoked when you send packets between zones on the same machine. > My other question, does it work if unstall the IPfilter SUN version > but install a latest version IP filter? Unlikely. It has the same architectural problem: the packets that are looped back internally never get anywhere near the DLPI interfaces, which is where IP Filter hooks in. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
