I have built a UAG DA server in a virtual network which in its own right works well. Now that I am replacing the virtual interfaces with real NICs, I have noticed something odd. Though the DA server can ping other systems on the same subnet as its external interface (DMZ zone), using wireshark it does not appear as though the DMZ sends any ICMP packets when told to ping anything beyond the local subnet of the external interface. Why would this be, how can I fix it, and how would I best troubleshoot it? The DA server has ICMP echo requests inbound / outbound open in the advanced firewall. The internal interface on the DA server works alright for pinginging the internal network, but cannot RDP servers outside its immediate subnet. Thank you, -Aaron
