Banging my head with a weird issue on Esxi

Post by hdavy2002 » Sun Feb 23, 2014 9:00 pm

I have this weird issue in Esxi driving me crazy for many days.

I am hosting SE on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a VM in Esxi. Infront of it is a Firewall giving DHCP.

SE Virtual Machine and Firewall Virtual Machine have two lan nic connected over a common virtual Swicth.

I have port forwarded all SE traffic from WAN to NIC1 on SE VM.

I have bridged the SE to the second nic on the Ubuntu Machine.

I get connected pretty fast, I get an IP after a long time and my traffic is very very slow.

I have enabled Promiscuous mode on the Virtual Switch and LAN ports. I wonder why the traffic gets slow when bridged to LAN port. Https sites work ok, but slow.

I have a transparent proxy on the firewall listening on both lans.

Non https traffic comes with "Invalid URL"

Please can someone help. I have been batteling this for days now. I have tried all kinds of senerious. Even changed multiple firewalls. I have also changed NIC from em1000 to VMX3.

Thanks in advance folks.
