[OmniOS-discuss] Routing challlenges

[Michael Talbott]

Oh, I see. Sorry about that, reading it on my phone didn't render your diagram properly ;)

The reason this is happening is because the omnios box has knowledge of both subnets in its routing table and it always takes the shortest path to reach an ip destination.

So you will need to put the "clients" in a unique subnet that always passes through the firewall in both directions (in a subnet that's not shared by the omnios machines). Any attempt to add/modify a static route to the omnios box to resolve this will likely fail (it'll just move the problem from one network to the other one and cause your "services" network to route improperly).

Either that, or remove the firewall as a hop, set sshd to listen only on the management IP, and add a management vlan interface to the clients allowed to connect.

This causes a split route and the firewall blocks the connection because the connection never appears complete.
