[FW1] ospf and firewall-1

[Rani Chouha <rani@247media.com>]

Hello all, this is my first post here..
I am trying to run ospf between a router on the external LAN, the firewall
box with NAT running and another router on the internal LAN behind the
firewall. I am running gated-3.5.10 on the firewall-1 box.

I am able to get ospf updates working properly between the external router
and the firewall box but cannot get ospf working between the firewall and
the internal router. I am also getting the message:
"FW-1: fw_xlate_forw: failed to initialize the connection" as soon as I
start the gated daemon. I verified icmp connectivity between the firewall
and both cisco router boxes. I also have a rule that allows all ospf
traffic and by default it will not of course do NAT on ospf.

My question is do I need a special gated.conf configuration on the
firewall to allow it to exchange ospf traffic with both internal and
external routers ? and do I need to setup any other rules on the firewall
?

Any help on this will be greatly apprecialted.
