Default Re: Nokia clustering query

The clusters topology tabs all seem correct but the General tab of the cluster is the clusters Primary Clustering sync ip address.
The ip addresses of the physical boxes are the actualy ip addresses on the
management interfaces.
I am think that the general properties should be as follows:
If the external addresses are say fw1=81.1.1.1 fw2=81.1.1.2
fwcluster=81.1.1.3 then this is what should be on the general properties
page of the nodes?
We actually have a primary and a secondary clustering interfaces and we are using the nodes in an active active forwarding type scenario.
This makes troubleshooting quite difficult. Maybe we should switch to
active/standby?
What seems to happen is that when packets leave the firewall they are being sent out as the internal cluster interface ip address as this is the general properties ip address I'm guessing. This is what is being used for all our NAT under the hide behind gateway address.
We have definately got this setup wrong I'm just not sure of the best way to sort it.
Thanks
Sam
