We are installing an application that requires access to the ms-sql-m
protocol (UDP/1434) as well as the data port (TCP/1433). The SQL Server
we are using is part of an N+1 cluster. The issue is that when we try
to communicate to the node instance xxx.xxx.123.226 recieve the
ms-sql-m response from the physical device ip xxx.xxx.123.222 causing
an asymmetric IP communication and the response appears to be dropped
by the request as one might expect. This causing our installation to
fail.

Has anyone run into this issue before, no of a common misconfiguration
in clustering services that leads to this, or aware of any documented
bug?

Thanks in advance for you posts.
