We replaced our OpenBSD routers with these SRXes since they were supposed to be multifunction devices (gateways and routers at the same time) which was the selling point. So we expected them to do asymmetric routing and were told they could, easily, but apparently they are not acting normally and also the configuration is perfect according to JTAC.
It sounds like a mis-communication on everyones' parts. I've come across plenty of systems-oriented people who believe the behaviour of network edge devices is what you've said - because various hosts (eg Linux) treat sockets, routing, ethernet active/standby, etc a specific way and this is not how "traditional" routing/edge devices behave. :) Adrian
