C might be a factor, but D feels more right based on the symptoms.

B seems unlikely. If it was, no one would connect at all.

I agree, but A could be a problem too. Firewalls can be tricky.

B could be a factor too. If the gateway is down, connections will fail.

I'm leaning towards A. Firewall drops could explain the failures.

I agree, D makes sense. Standby might not handle traffic well.

I'm leaning towards A. If the firewall drops packets, that’s a big issue.

I’m a bit confused about the default gateway option. I don't recall if that would directly cause intermittent issues like this.

I'm leaning towards the active/standby setup being the issue. If WS1 is standby, it might explain why some clients are having trouble connecting.

I think the load balancing method could be a problem too. We practiced a similar question where the LB method caused uneven traffic distribution.

I remember we discussed how packet drops could indicate firewall issues, but I'm not sure if that's the only factor here.
