An odd statement possibly, but I’m looking for a way to solve a problem (even 
if it’s a temporary solution).

The DC firewalls have changed and the recursors are located in a DMZ behind two 
HA firewalls in active/active mode. So far so good. The firewalls sync their 
state tables, so asymmetric return traffic works fine. Except when the recursor 
replies so quickly that the sync hasn’t updated the state table yet for the 
return packets. As a result we’re seeing a few drops among a lot of perfectly 
fine traffic.

I have a few things I can do:

1) permit all outbound traffic with source udp/53 from the recursors. Not 
ideal, but low risk.
2) raise a support ticket with the firewall vendor. Will do this, but not 
holding my breath for a solution (if any)
3) delay DNS replies a millisecond or so. Not ideal as this introduces delay.

Thoughts?
