Hi,

 

I guess your suggestion about not using automap but rather separate SNAT pool (even with one IP) is most valuable. I was not thinking about it as a way to simplify troubleshooting but it seems to be a way to go - if there are any spare IP's to use.

 

Going back to tcpdump examples. I am quite new in this area so to be sure:

 

First dump is capturing complete flow so both client<->VIP and SNAT<->Server

 

Second is removing all connections on client side

 

Am I right? If so it seems to be quite useful method.
