Erm, i didn't know, thx for information.

Snort i had set up some months ago, but it isn running.

I think so, too.

But how to find that?

The problem is _not_ the application (layer): The virtual connection between
dom0 and domU is lost. No ping, no ssh, nothing. The application is still
running and working (tested with xm console and e.g. lynx)
That problem occured with http, ftp and scp.

I set up them manually within a script like that:
$ipt -t nat -A PREROUTING -d $external_ip -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to
192.168.1.5
(packet-forwarding enabled)

I think XEN3's nat is like the network in XEN2. New to XEN3 is bridging and
routing, but i don't use them.
There is bridging and routing with Xen 2.x as well. I use it a lot.
every domU has a vifx.y in dom0's address space and its own IP, but there is
automatically routing/natting between them.

No, I didn't. How to do that? Why should the connection reopens itself in a
natted net?
Just to make sure you did not set up intrusion detection (e. g. snort inline)
which cuts down on network connections if traffic reaches a threshold limit.
Something like that.
I think it cannot be a problem of your general networking concept since it
works with smaller downloads. So there is either a problem with your kernel or
a feature you do not remember setting up. :-)
Have you tested the same with a different protocol (let's say ftp or sftp or
smb ...) so make sure the problem is not on the application layer?

Hi,
I have a XEN 3.0.1 - Debian Sarge (Rootserver). There is a dom0 with connection
to the internet (WAN-IP) and a domU with a local IP (192.168.x.y). The network
is forwarded with iptables and script-nat.
All works fine until someone downloads a big file (last test ~100 MB). Suddenly
the connection is lost. By checking all circumstances I noticed that XEN is no
longer able to send packets to the domU. The connection from virtual to the
real network is broken.
How can I fix that?
Does anybody know that problem?
In XEN 2.0.7 I had that problem, too.
I think I have a similar setup with Xen 2.0.7, but not the same problem.
Just to make things clear:
a) in which direction does the download go (from domU to net, from net to domU,
from dom0 to net, ....)?
b) did you setup iptables manually or do you use something like shorewall for
that?
c) what exactly is script-nat?
d) did you test if connection is reopened after some time (5 minutes, one hour,
etc.)?
