about alias in 6.0(1)

[xiao0809]

After I applied alias command,from inside, I ping the ip address associated with the alias address, the traffic is directed to the outside.

If I delete the alias command, the traffic is directed to the DMZ.

Who can tell me why, Thanks

Here’s some URL’s that should help:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/110/alias.html and probably the best explanation at: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/110/pixfaq.shtml#Q15

Pay close attention to the last paragraph. The quick workaround it to reverse your alias addresses, save your config, reboot the pix and test from there.
