I'm trying to use the connect control module within FW1 to do server
load balancing to two web servers. I followed the configuration
guides/.PDF's but have had no success.

It seems that the problem is that the firewall just isn't answering
for the Logical server address.

I've performed the following configuration:

1. Defined a network group object [HTTP_SERVERS]containing all the
internal IP's of the real web servers and defined their external NAT
properties.

2. Defined a network group object [WEB_FARM] containing all the
external IP's as defined above.

3. Defined a logical server object [LOAD_BALNANCER] defining the
external IP address to be used for load balancing facing the public
Internet. I defined the group to be redirected to [WEB_FARM]

4. I added two rules, one for permitting ANY to [LOAD_BALANCER]
service HTTP action ACCEPT. The second rule for permitting the
redirect of ANY to [WEB_FARM] service HTTP action ACCEPT.

I can reach any [WEB_FARM] address just fine if i go directly, but I
cannot hit them from the [LOAD_BALANCER] address. It seems as though
the FW1 is not listening for that IP address.

I defined a static arp for it using:

arp -s 65.106.231.3 00:04:5A:7E:0A:84 pub

What else do I need to do?
