vShield and a service (ftp) Problem - ftp connects will be dropped

hello gurus,

on a small cluster with 2 host and some linux vm's with apache, proftp, samba etc reside a vshield zones installation. everything is ok, BUT i can't reach the ftp from outside - looks like a firewall would drop the packets.

details:

linux hosts 32 and 64 bit, centos and redhat with 1 nic direct connected to an official ip to reach the internet. before zones installation everything and all services are ok. after installation of zones the FTP service is not reachable. from localhost i can get a connection. the zones firewall rules are on default and i can't find any hints whats going on.

- what could be the reason?

- where could i find some logs to trace and debug the problem?

thanks and greetings from germany

jeff

UPDATE:

ok, i found the reason.

when i use vshield with appspeed on a subnettet network and the probes are use this net than ftp packets will be dropped.

details:

vDS: INTERNET

appspeed probe installed in INTERNET

network INTERNET are subnettet in much 255.255.255.252 segments

the ftp access will be routet throug this vDS.

some ideas?

jeff
