Exactly. When shopping, you have to ensure that everything works with linux, and that is not always easy to find out before you buy :-(
A similar experience of mine...this school's got a funny CISCO (!) firewall. That works fast and fine with winboxes behind it. But with Linux boxes behind it, it comes to a crawl..
Support from the Cisco dealer: "Eh, we don't support Linux..., but I think it's a known issue..."
My guess is that if you go to Cisco directly, they'll fire that dealer. Cisco can not depend on a single OS, they have to cater for them all. One thing is what software they use for maintenance of their boxes etc, another is that their network does not work with different operating systems. Tell the datacenters the world around that Cisco's hardware will not work with datacenters using anything else different than windows, and they'll be out of business soon. What about Unix, for instance? That's an "official", "payware", system.
Clearly it's an implementation bug in the CISCO box, no matter what you do to the Linux box (IP6 on/off etc), it does make no difference. Then...you setup another firewall - and Linux (and windows) flies both.
If it is a know issue, you'll probably find info in google.
Am I going to recommend/buy CISCO gear next time, I'll give you one guess at that one :-)
