Subject: Re: SSVM Network Configuration

Ahmad,

You were correct on the rp_filter issue.  Once disabled, the SSVM was able to 
connect outbound to S3, as well as, any host reachable from devcloud.  I 
noticed that rp_filter is disabled in sysctl.conf yet it is somehow being 
enabled at runtime.  Is this behavior intended?

Thanks,
-John
