Hi,
Will this fix the issue that I see visualising its self as packet loss
over a VPN tunnel?
The tunnel is an openvpn (tun mode) tunnel providing a route to
192.168.201.0/24 however when I ping an address in this network with
flowtable enabled I see 2-3 out of every 5-6 packets end up being sent
out of bge0 (IP 172.17.XX.XX/23 GW 172.17.XX.1) to the default gateway
(which responds with destination host unreachable) rather than down tun0.
Thanks
Tom
