• CSCds16931

The LocalDirector echo replies to unrelated echo requests from a real server.

• CSCds18077

LocalDirector reloads unexpectedly when you use the no bind command with port-bound real and virtual servers.

• CSCds19879

MAC address entries in the bridge table are not removed.

• CSCds35844

• LocalDirector reboots on a 416 platform when you configure it for synguard and give it write memory.

• CSCds44090

Booting from a remote image (boot image command) is not enabled for a LocalDirector 417 that is part of a failover pair.

• CSCds58322

LocalDirector appears to process route statements before processing the alias ip address commands. If there is a route statement with the gateway on the alias subnet, then LocalDirector, after bootup, displays an error message about the route and does not add it to the running configuration.
