PIX 515E stops responding

[sguslan]

We have 2 pix firewalls one protecting the perimiter the other protecting the internal apps.

The first is working fine, but the internal pix sops passing packets to the apps network after a while. The only way to keep it running is to pass some packets from the inside to the perimiter network, so we keep pinging any machine in the perimiter from the apps to keep it alive.

Any comments ...

Sounds to me like a translation problem... Do you have "nat (inside) 1 ..." configured on your internal PIX? If that is your case then you need a static translation instead or a nat (inside) 0 access-list. However you don´t provide much information so I am only guessing. Look at the FAQ on how to post your config safely.
