      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!

              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…:
