Upgraded from FP2 to R55, moved the rules over with upgrade_import/export. All
that worked fine.

However, in my SmartTracker I'm now seeing a number of packets being dropped
due to "Address Spoofing". Most of the traffic being dropped is legitmate
traffic either trying to do DNS queries, or get to our webserver. The IP
addresess being dropped are all real, routable IPs.

Our firewall does static NAT for a number of servers behind it. It also
maintains a VPN connection to our internal network at the office, which uses
non-routable address space.

hme0 is external, hme1 is internal.

Some of the dropped packets (sanitized), Firewall-1 IP 216.210.2.1, static NAT
IPs start with 216.210.2.x, Internal IPs with 10.0.x.x, the rest are remote
clients (connecting)):

Even with a -lot- of these types of dropped packets, everything appears to
work fine. Clients are all able to connect (even when they have dropped
packets logged).

Any ideas? It isn't strictly internal (VPN) IPs that are getting logged as
spoofed, and this is what confuses me.


Thanks,
Chris
