I work in an IT department for an educational institution that uses 3 firepass boxes (2 in production, 1 for development). We have been struggling to make 6.02 with the Leopard hotfix functional. After much back-and-forth with support folks, it became clear that the issue was ICMP traffic.

 

 

Apparently, with 6.02, if the machine cannot ping its default gateway (whether or not that happens to be logically close to the firepass) it will drop the connection after only a few seconds. This seems to have made everything work again for us...
