conntrack-tools and Session syncing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi folks,

I have 2 firewalls, setup with Centos 5.2. They are also routers, connected to 2 upstream routers.

I have some cases where connections from servers to the internet leave my network via router2 and answers come back via router1. So I added conntrack tools to both routers/firewalls to synchronize the session tables (using ftfw procotol).

That works as expected. If e.g. I ping from an inside server to somewhere outside, ICMP request leaves via router2, the answer comes back via router1. conntrack -e on router1 shows this session (as unreplied), BUT the firewall blocks it as new connection - that means iptables does not recognize conntrackd's addition to the session table.

Seems that I have a conceptional misunderstanding here - but I do not find anything that could be wrong. Could somebody please help? I am stuck.

Any hint or help is appreciated.

Dirk
