Off-Topic: FWSM Question

Hello,

I am working on a strange issue with my FWSM perhaps someone in the group
can help me with.

I have two VLANs configured:

vlan 4 outside
vlan 5 inside

I noticed in my log that traffic between devices in VLAN 4 (outside) is
being blocked by the FW. The FW seems to think that this traffic is
destined to the inside interface. That's one issue. Another issue is the
fact it should never even hit the FW as the devices are on the same subnet.
Here is a snippet from the log:

Mar 13 2008 04:03:38 FWSMcontext : %FWSM-4-106023: Deny tcp src outside:
10.10.10.34/1155 dst inside:10.10.10.45/139 by access-group "outside-in"
[0x0, 0x0]

My question are:

1. Does all traffic flow through the FW even if it is on the same subnet?
2. If so, why does the FW believe the destination is on the inside
segment?

Looks like a bug but I am not sure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
S. Rick
