[FW1] Slow FTP through Firewall-1

["Scott Murray" <scotty_1970@FW1-NOSPAMhotmail.com>]

Having a problem with VERY slow FTP through one of two on-line Firewalls.  
Here's the setup: we have switches above two NokiaIP650's running CP4.1sp4.  
The switches are load balancing traffic across the two 650's.  When FTP 
traffic comes through Firewall-A, it is very slow (90 bps); I do an "fwstop" 
on Firewall-A and Firewall-B takes over the FTP traffic and passes data at 
over 100kbps).  The management station is an NT box and the same policy is 
pushed to both Firewall's.  The IPSO is the same on both boxes (IPSO 3.2.1). 
 When I perform an "fwstart" on Firewall-A, the traffic goes back through 
that Firewall at the slow data rate.  Through my policy, can I force all FTP 
traffic to go through FIrewall-B?  But even if I do that, this still does 
not explain why FTP is slow on the one box.  Does anyone have a setup 
similiar to this and if so, have you seen behavior like this when using FTP? 
 TIA!!

Scott
