        try without destination alias
        how do you have public ip's? are you having continous block or something else?

          Ok, I changed the entry to replacing the alias with the Ip of the server.

          Same result.

          Yes, it's a block.  (162-165) And I'm reaching the firewall from the outside wold with the .163 because I get the Firewall block entries at the exact time I try to access from the outside world.  The .162 is the regular address.  I used the 163 in the past (hooked up to another physical firewall), I stopped using it for a while, it is possible that the provider changed something, but I doubt it.

          I haven't posted the entry itself in NAT.  Here is the screenshot of that.

            It's fixed!

            Thank you, when you asked about the block, I kept thinking, so I went and rechecked everything, duhhhh, how stupid of me, the subnet mask was WRONG.

            Geez,

            Thank you!

              It's ok, but you're showing again your public ip's

                So I set everything back to how I wanted it originally, and for the record having the destination Alias works fine.

                Thanks for the Public/IP warning.  I'll take it out again.  Thanks.

                Is there a way one can mark threads as "Answered" here?

                    Nevermind, it isn't solved.  Having the same problem again.  I have no clue as to why it started working and after a while it stopped working.

                    Any ideas of what else too look for?

                      Well I Fixed it again.

                      I think I found a bug.

                      Whenever you make and changes to the System Advanced Firewall/NAT window, it changes the IP Alias to Network, rather than the Single address, which of course breaks this.  Uggh…

                      Anyways, messing around the screen, I can't remember what the defaults where for this was, can someone remember me which ones should be check?

                      Disable NAT Reflection for port forwards:
                      Disable NAT Reflection for 1:1 NAT :
                      Automatically create outbound NAT rules...:

                      Thanks,

                        I was wrong, changes in the System Advanced screen do not change the label Network.  The label Network is changed whenever you use anything other than a /32 mask.

                        It turns out that it works just fine with the mask /32

                        Whenever I re-save the Virtual IP it starts working again.

                        But I just noticed something else I got the log entry:
                        kernel: arp: 00:1e:58:39:1a:1e is using my IP address 200.XXX.XXX.163 on vr0!

                        So I guess the provider did change something and that IP is assigned to something else, that would explain the weird erratic behavior.  The provider was absorbed by another provider, so I think that's the origin of the problem.

                        Anyhow, thanks and please do let me know what the defaults are for:
                        Disable NAT Reflection for port forwards:
                        Disable NAT Reflection for 1:1 NAT :
                        Automatically create outbound NAT rules…:
