NFS Client mount using UDP

Hi Folks,

 

The system we have is

 

Clustered 2x RX2800s OpenVMS 8-4, Update 7

TCPIP 5-7 ECO 3

 

The system hosts an NFS share (on 1 node) where there may be IP aliases on that network card. There have been an instances where the client performs an NFS mount using the UDP protocol on 1 address and gets a response from one of the other active aliases. For example:

 

 

   TCPtrace RCV packet 25147 at  2-JAN-2014 13:01:34.41

 

                        IP Address       Port

 

   Source                10.51.3.18       809

   Destination           10.51.3.33        10

 

                                                Packet Length      120

   UDP

 

                                         Hex    Count   Ascii

The NFS request comes in 10.51.3.33 but is responded to on 10.51.3.35. At this point the client gives up. The problem is random (or seemingly random). The source and destination ports match up, the IP address don't. 

 

The requesting system is running a variant of linux.
