Vcenter loose connection to wan cluster members

Hi there,

i have a 2 node cluster esxi 4.0 update 1 and a 6 node cluster 4.0 update1 in the same vcenter.

the vcenter server runs on the 2 node cluster and should manage the other servers via wan too.

at the moment its all internal, so we have a gb connection between the firewalls.

The 6 node vm management net has also a vlan because there are tagged interfaces.

I have the problem that the wan servers always disconnect after few moments.

Direct connect with vclient to the esx hosts via wan works if the connection is established, but there's also the problem, sometimes, that the client cannot connect to the esx host.

Vclient connect in the same subnet is no problem.

Maye there is the possibility of a timout configuration of the vcenter, or any other ideas?

cheers

Oliver
