He might be having problems with route table not getting enough nh entries
because of small neigh tables.
obviously FW1 is doing something weird:
Yann, try to increment the sizes of the arp tables, example:
echo 8192 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh3
echo 4096 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh2
echo 1024 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh1
Or use higher values if you want
cheers,
