      Guys,

      I’m hoping I’m missing something really obvious here …

      I have a PFS 2.4.5r1 running on a VMWare 6.5 VM set up with two internet feeds [let’s call them ‘A’ and ‘B’] and a single inside connection. A and B are both public IP addresses connected directly to the internet.

      I have default route out of ‘A’.

      I have set up two IPSEC tunnels to two remote sites [let’s call them RA and RB] … RA terminating on ‘A’ and RB terminating on ‘B’.

      The RB connection via ‘B’ works fine – I have made no policy-based routing changes to accomplish this.

      HOWEVER – the connection to RA terminating on ‘A’ [you’ll recall ‘A’ is the default route] doesn’t work UNLESS I set up a static route to RA site via ‘B’. When I check the IPSEC endpoints on this tunnel, I see RA<->A and RB<->B on PFS and remote devices.

      If I flip things around so RB terminates on A and RA on B, I get the same thing.

      Any suggestions re- what I’m doing wrong?

      Thanks for your time.

        Hi Again,

        I had missed something really obvious ... line a mis-addressed route.

        Had to be something as dumb as thins when you think about it.

        Thanks for politely ignoring me :)
