Forefront TMG 2010 Spoofing issue preventing connections

Been struggling with IP spoofing issues on our TNG 2010 server.

We have web services published to public IP’s all bound to a NIC called WAN-PUBLIC which then NAT’s to the internal IP’s on the web servers.

In certain scenarios we’re unable gain access to the servers and the ISA logs are full of Spoofing errors such as this:

Log type: Firewall service

Status: A packet was dropped because Forefront TMG determined that the source IP address is spoofed. 

Rule: None - see Result Code

Source: Local Host (213.122.169.54:18816)

Destination: Internal (192.168.9.130:443)

Protocol: HTTPS

The source host in this scenario is an IIS server / NLB using ARR so it’s almost acting like a reverse proxy.

Below is the relevant public IP’s bound to the WAN Nic and as you can see it has a default gateway set of un upstream ISP router.

Ethernet adapter WAN-PUBLIC:

Below is the internal NIC of the ISA server (no gateway set)

Ethernet adapter LAN-PRIVATE:

   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1

   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0

   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

So the rule above that’s failing is on a 192.168.9.x network, this network has a manual route defined that’s an internal core switch.

The 192.168.9.x network range has been defined within the ISA Network tab to the “Internal Nic”

I’ve run the ISA BPA and that’s not detected a configuration issue.

Any thoughts on how to proceed?
