Thanks Nick...i'm working on migrating from the pix 515 to my dual asa
5520's.... in the meantime....

there are only a few websites that have a weird issue where I cannot get to
those websites....strangely, the "sh conn" in the pix, shows them in "A"
state....awaiting inside ack.  A sniffer and ac's in the inner router shows
that my acks from the inside computer ARE being sent at the pix.  Is there
something weird that you know about with this issue where only a few
websites are like this ?  all other web traffic flows nicely through that
pix.

PIX1# sh conn local 10.10.10.207 foreign 63.245.217.105
1002 in use, 3794 most used
TCP out 63.245.217.105:80 in 10.10.10.207:51785 idle 0:00:06 Bytes 0 flags A
TCP out 63.245.217.105:80 in 10.10.10.207:51784 idle 0:00:29 Bytes 0 flags A

um, could I humbly suggest an upgrade?  6.1 is prehistoric.  7.1 works
reasonably well on old kit - well so long as you don't want to do anything
with ipv6.
