[c-nsp] ASA 5520 icmp error inspection not functioning after upgrade

Thanks, and it is as well as a huge access-list of other things, but that doesn't change the effect of ttl-exceeded packets not being translated via NAT properly because the icmp error inspection seems broken. I didn't disclose everything I'm permitting through the access-list. I was just mentioning things I thought should pertain to the issue, but if you're interested:

access-list outside_access_in extended permit icmp any4 any4 echo-reply
access-list outside_access_in extended permit icmp any4 any4 echo
access-list outside_access_in extended permit icmp any4 any4 unreachable
access-list outside_access_in extended permit icmp any4 any4 time-exceeded log
access-list outside_access_in extended permit icmp6 any6 any6 echo
access-list outside_access_in extended permit icmp6 any6 any6 echo-reply
access-list outside_access_in extended permit icmp6 any6 any6 unreachable
access-list outside_access_in extended permit icmp6 any6 any6 time-exceeded
access-list outside_access_in extended permit icmp6 any6 any6 packet-too-big
access-list outside_access_in extended permit icmp6 any6 any6 parameter-problem

I have the log on the time-exceeded in there from trying to troubleshoot the issue. That's not normally there.

I may just end up scheduling a reload of both firewalls and go from there unless anyone else has any suggestions.

You should also allow ICMP type-3/code-4, or you're breaking PMTU-D.
