Default TCP packet out of state

Hello All,

We have a sun java application server version 8.1 using a JDBC connection to and oracle daabase. The application server is in one DMZ the database in an other.

I keep seeing in the logs the following error ' TCP connection out of state, First Packet isn't a SYN : TCP Flags' then it gives me random tcp flags, sometimes ACK, sometimes PUSH, ACK etc

This keeps breaking the application and we have to restart the application server.

I have unchecked 'drop out of state tcp packets' and we'll see what happens.

What sort of issue is it having it unchecked (performance ? / Security ?)

Can anyone tell me what might be happening with the communication and how I might troubleshoot it ?

Manager is NGXR60 HFA03 Windows 2K, modules are NGXR60 HFA03 running on SPLAT in HA mode (active, passive)

Cheers all, have a good weekend

George
