Right, I've been looking at this problem more closely and I think it is an ARP related problem.

Running snoop on node "A" with a ping going to an external website when I have connectivity gets the following on node "A":
Translated External IP----->External website
External website------>Translated External IP
Translated External IP----->External website
External website------>Translated External IP


and so on.

If I fail over to node "B" I get the following on node "B":
Translated External IP----->External website
Translated External IP----->External website
Translated External IP----->External website

and on node "A":
External website------>Translated External IP
External website------>Translated External IP
External website------>Translated External IP

I have manual ARP set with the external interface MAC address and the corresponding translation in R60 on each node.

Is there anything I can do to get around this. I have disabled "Automatic Proxy ARP" in Global Properties in case you were wondering.

Thanks for you time
