This SOL has more info on best settings to accommodate for it - unfortunately, no matter what we do with our proxy settings, we can't control how long the server will keep the closed TCP connection in the TIME_WAIT state, and if you have a lot of traffic and port reuse, you could have collisions - so in SNAT situations, it's best to set it to Change for both Virtual and SNAT - is that what your current settings are?
