[c-nsp] ASA bug?

[Greg Whynott]

sorry you are correct, that would of been useful information.     I also neglected to mention that we ran tcpdump on the target machine within the DMZ,  the packets were not actually leaving the fw interface,  even tho the capture indicated they were.

I have a second ASA5540 not in use (is for a redundancy project),  if i get some cycles this week i'll apply the same config/OS to it and avoid filling out change control requests..
