2 PIX Same COnfig, though 1 not connected to 'real' outside? Does not work? Scott Townsend 03-23-06

This seems like it should work okay I have 2 PIXs set up as follows
PIX1: Inside: 10.0.0.1
Outside: 192.168.1.2

PIX1: Inside: 10.0.0.2
Outside2: 192.168.1.2

Inside ----PIX1-----Outside
|
---------PIX2-----Outside2

They are both on the same Internal Network. Though the Outside ports are
connected to different Physical Networks that have the same Address space.
Both PIXs have the same Config (besides the Internal IP)

I've set up a Laptop on Outside2 with a Hosts file that has entries for
Webservers that are published on the PIX2 Outside Interface mapped to the
internal Webserver...

When I try to Access them it does not work...

Is having the same Outside Subnet confusing it? Seems like this would work?

Thanks,
Scott<-

How is the routing set up on your servers?

On the inside network, the routers and servers do not know that PIX2 Exists.
Though they are on the Same Physical Subnet.

Though I though that since the PIX is doing the Address translations from
the outside to the inside, the request would originate from PIX2 which is on
the same subnet and just return the reply to PIX2.

So I have
Router: 10.1.0.1 255.255.0.0
PIX1: 10.1.0.2 255.255.0.0
PIX2: 10.1.0.4 255.255.0.0
WWWServer: 10.1.0.10 255.255.0.0 192.168.0.10/24
MailServer: 10.1.0.11 255.255.0.0 192.168.0.11/24


Both PIXs have the same static table:
static (inside,outside) WWWServer_o WWWServer_i netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0
static (inside,outside) MailServer_o MailServer_i netmask 255.255.255.255 0
0

So both PIXs are responding to 192.168.0.10. Though is that address the one
that is used to route the reply back out to the internet? Even so, wouldn't
it be via the MAC address of the PIX2 and go back to PIX2 to reply?

So here is another question, How do I test the new PIX with the same Config
without taking down the network??

Thanks,

Okay, so I think I found (part) of the issue.

I created a Static Route for the Outside IP address I'm using on my Test
laptop, so that the Router and PIX1 know to pass the traffic to PIX2 for
anything destined to that IP.

I can now surf to Web pages on the Inside from Outside2. Now to get VPN to
work.

Thanks,
