Hi.
Firstly, not sure if this is the right forum but hope you can help.
I have a issue where randomly the firewall stops responding for a small number or random hosts/pcs/physical server on my network. This problem has started since the introduction of VMware and two ESX servers. I think its an ARP issue as clearing the NIC ARP cache on the windows machine that has the trouble fixes the problem temporarily. A permeant fix is to shut off the ESX servers, which is obviously not a fix.
Ive changed the firewall incase its that but have same issue. Any thoughts on what to check on ESX to see whats causing it? My ESX servers currently have a single NIC on the LAN vSwitch for simplicity and a separate vSwitch for 10gb iSCSI which is direct connected to the SAN. Very simple.
Thanks
