To further refresh folks memory, the core problem appears to be that when
the responses come back from the server, they are discarded either by the
gateway machine or the eCS box. This is hard to say for sure which one
until we run parallel iptraces on both machines and compare the outs and
ins.

pings are fun, but they are not a definitive test of connectivity. Many
sites do not respond to pings these days. You can thank hackers for this.
If you get a response to ping, that's fine. If not, you have to fall back
to tracerte or telnet to really know if the site is responsing.

This is an ISP problem.

This is a TCP/IP software problem. You probably need to apply a MPTS or
TCP/IP FP.

Use any nslookup to works. What's inetver say on the boxes with the
failing nslookup.

I forget. Did you ever apply the MPTS and TCP/IP fixes from
www.ecomstation.com to eCS?
