SecuRemore / Client takes a log time to connect to a gateway in a MEP environment

If "FireWall -1 Control connections" has been disabled in Policy Properties, SecuRemote authentication takes up to 20 seconds before connectivity is established. This causes a problem for active resolver in MEP environment.

When the gateways do not respond to RDP requests it assumes the module is down. When all the gateways are down (the client receives no RDP packets), it will then connect to the primary module.

To fix this, create a "user defined" UDP service containing the following properties:

Match"0"
Pre-Match field is left blank
Prologue "accept_fw1_rdp"
 

Add a rule in the policy to allow any to firewalls <new udp service> accept
