Yes, with proxy-arp it was using the VMAC. Now I have moved them to VRRP backup IP's. In order for it to work, I had to create the host routes pointing to the internal next hop router. For some reason they were required with VRRP backup. It is strange that it was working for several months on proxy-arp, with no host routes. I do, however, have a static route to the subnet that the static IP is NAT'd to. This means one of two things: With proxy-arp things go Accept -> NAT -> route or With proxy-arp it was using the static route for the internal subnet. I don't know how it could have done this though, if NAT didn't happen before it was routed. Very strange. Thanks for your reply. -Aaron -----Original Message----- From: Ted Serreyn [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, February 24, 2003 3:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [FW-1] Nokia HA- why backup vrrp requires host route, proxy-arp doesn't are you proxy arping for the vrrp monitored circuit mac address. 00:00:5e:01:00:XX Also I would aways add the host routes for 4.1 firewalls.
