Has anyone else experienced a problem with video conferencing traffic cross=
ing the firewall?  We have various models of Polycom units (HDX 8000 HD, HD=
X 9004, VS4000) that have trouble when they have to cross our Cisco ASA to =
connect to another unit.  A connection is always established, but sometimes=
 video and audio do not work, sometimes content cannot be sent, etc.

Monitoring the firewall logs I observed this error:

Deny IP from Montgomery-416.itv.clarion.edu to Still-111, IP options: "Rout=
er Alert"
