Subject: Checkpoint VPN DoS woes

Hi J.,

I guess I'm missing something. If the spoofed source address was 10.10.10.10 
and it originated from the internal network, then it would have had to get 
to the Check Point firewall via some route you have set up or the default 
route. When a packet hits a Check Point interface and it's source IP is not 
from that segment as defined in the anti-spoofing topology, Check Point will 
drop it. In fact I monitor spoofing drops daily just to see what's going on 
in the world.

"After a reboot of both the router and the Linux server" - What router? The 
one between the Check Point internal interface and your LAN?

Since this involves a SofaWare box, you probably would do better to post it 
on the Discussion Groups at www.sofaware.com . Those are official support 
forums and they do monitor and reply to postings frequently. You also might 
want to try the 5.0.92 firmware as that's what is current.

Ray
