We have 8 existing Zabbix proxies:
* 6 active proxies (Let's say A1-A6)
* 2 passive proxies, because of datacenter and firewall restrictions (P1 and P2)
They work as expected. Performance is good, no issues as they are. Great.
I need to add 2 more proxies (let's say P3 and P4), for 2 new regions. Due to firewall/datacenter restrictions, they must be passive.
I have a firewall request pending, so I know they will be offline/unreachable until that is completed, but that's ok.
Here's the issue:
When I add P3 and P4 (offline/unreachable as expected), P1 and P2 also go offline. As soon as I take P3 and P4 out of the Zabbix configuration (deleting them from the UI), P1 and P2 come back online (it takes about a minute).
They are entirely different machines, with different (fixed) IP addresses (different /24 subnets) and different A records, so I can't figure out why one set would affect the other.
None of the active proxies are affected by this in any way.
All passive proxy configuration files have the right "Server", "SourceIP" and "ListenIP" values set. When adding the proxies, I've tried using A records as well as IP addresses for the new proxie (P3 and P4) - no difference.
Thoughts/ideas?
