R6 keeps server-server session on 1352 [SuSE Linux, R6, VPN, CISCO, dialup]

Situation:

Using two R6 servers running on SuSE Linux 8.2.

The servers are in LAN A and LAN B, which are connected by a CISCO PIX firewall device though a IPsec VPN over a dialup internet connection.

Problem:

  • On LAN A any time I use ‘netstat -av’, a session from Notes Server B to Notes Server A is listed.

  • Any few minutes, the VPN comes up - thus forcing a dialout to the internet - and some TCP packet arrives from Notes Server B to Notes Server A - resulting in big communication costs (ISP costs).

  • Servers are defined to replicate each hour.

  • Connections defined to be LAN connections (no dialup, since no RAS is available)

This happens even at weekends, when no user is logged on Server A or Server B and only the servers are running in LAN A and LAN B.

Any incompatibilites or (even better) solutions known?

Make sure both servers are in a different Notes Named Networks.

If they are in the same named network, it is assumed that they have a permanent interconnection – which is not what you want.
