Hello:

How will a PIX react to a SYN made on an already existing connection that
is active on the firewall.

I have a scenario that due to PAT on a router I am receiving a SYN request
on a source port that is already assigned by the router.( kind of a bug)

From a trace I see that the firewall so receive the SYN and it does not
react to that packet at all.
Do you believe that this is a normal behaviour OR it should have at least
reply negatively.

Thanks,

RAM/12304
