I believe that MC uses "system.APPN.SNA.IBM.COM" for looking up the
connection.  Do you have an entry such as that in your host table?  If so,
what IP does it have?  I generally put it in as the local host.  From a
command line try to ping system.APPN.SNA.IBM.COM where system is the SNA
system name.

Thanks for the reply Sean, but this is why I am confused.  The only DNS
entry for ams400.ourdomain.com is the 172.x.x.x entry.  The 208.x.x.x
address is not in any DNS, there is no name attached to it.  The dropped
packet is not an outbound packet, it is an inbound packet sent from the
internal address of the AS/400 to the external address.

My guess (and it's only a guess) is that the application(running under WAS
Express) is pulling the external address from the URL as it's received.
Then when it tries to authenticate, instead of using default_host:449 or
127.0.0.1:449 it tries to use 208.x.x.x:449 and the authentication request
is routed out through the firewall(since we have no internal 208.x.x.x
address) and back in.

Does this make any sense?
