Hello all,
WE are having an issue with our Raptor firewall dropping packets because of a reverse - forward lookup fails. Here is the log and a link to why raptor logs it:
"mw203.mail2world.com 66.28.189.203: reverse address 66.28.189.80 doesn't match -- denied"
http://www.firetower.com/faqs/logfiles/dnserrors.html
My questions is : Is this a valid security check (reverse-forward)? Is there a problem with mail2world.com's DNS setup? Is Raptors' rule to just drop these connections valid? How would such a rule handle round-robin, where a forward lookup can return a a different IP? Or a number of IP's? Do any of you have any experience with this? TIA And happy new Year!!!.
