Check what's going on on the wire with tcpdump on your external interfaces when you do a manual failover

Further:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/proxy_arp
This method is not recommended, as SecurePlatform periodically resets this to 0

You should create a file local.arp that contains the arp entries. More/latest info about this: check SecureKnowledge and search for sk25851.

thanks,

i thought fw ctl arp relies only to automatic arp. i do it manually.
the output is: No proxy ARP entries

until now SPLAT doesn't overwrite my proxy_arp settings.

isn't local.arp only for windows?
when using the "addarp"-command the mac-address is added to the ethers-file and restored at boot-time.

eth0 and eth1 are connected to the internet with different isps (NO dialup).

with my service-level i don't have access to sk25851 :-(
