Arrowpoint and DNS (was: DNS source ports and RFC's

[Mathias Körber]

Did you manage to get the Arrowpoint to properly rewrite
the reply packets using its virtual IP address?

I tried this last year, and it did well for TCP connections
(zonetransfers, TCP queries), but did not handle UDP queries at all.
The query would make it to the servers and get replied, but never
get past the Arrowpoint to the client..

I guess the arrowpoint (a CS100, I think with version 2) did not
understand how to rewrite and pass on DNS reply packets via its
virtual IP address.=20

The local distributor was also not ableto help at that time. If this
is fixed/possible now I would go and look at them again for this
purpose...
