6500 CSM Load balancing

[Morini]

When a server is behind a CSM module in a 6500, should it be possibile for the server to initiate a connection outbound? I can load balance traffic inbound, and can gain direct access inbound by configuring 2 IPs on the server, and serverfarms with just one server, but i can't ping outwards beyond the CSM from the server.

It should Do you have your CSS set up as a router or transparent? If you have it set up as a router, do you have your routes set up on it?

Its set up in bridge mode (I want to be able to start load balancing existing servers with minimal changes to the server setup). Maybe I should try router mode.
