      Okay, this is frustrating.

      I tried to swap our firewall in our datacenter this morning early after setting up identical rules on an Alix box to the SG560 that's currently in there.  I got it swapped, and half our port forwards did not work.  The weird thing is that there is only one Alias port group for NAT, we run 6 identical servers running the same processes, just on different IP internal IP addresses.  Of the 6, 3 worked just fine, 3 did not nat properly.

      I originally setup the Virtual IP's as Proxy ARP addresses, but none of them worked.  I then switched them to "other" and then they seemed to start working.

      Any ideas?

        Upstream equipment probably had the MAC addresses of the old box in its ARP cache.

          Interesting, let me check on that.  I need to replace that firewall and am not having a great experience with it.
