No iptables active, due to private net.

On the mupdate server:

mupdate-febe.intern.tu-berlin.de.mupdate eg-mailfrontend-febe.intern.elgouna.tu-berlin.de.40536 14656      0 49248      0 ESTABLISHED
mupdate-febe.intern.tu-berlin.de.mupdate eg-mailfrontend-febe.intern.elgouna.tu-berlin.de.40537 14656      0 49248      0 ESTABLISHED
mupdate-febe.intern.tu-berlin.de.mupdate eg-mailfrontend-febe.intern.elgouna.tu-berlin.de.40538 69568      0 49248      0 ESTABLISHED
mupdate-febe.intern.tu-berlin.de.mupdate eg-mailfrontend-febe.intern.elgouna.tu-berlin.de.40539 64128      0 49248      0 ESTABLISHED

On eg-mailfrontend: 

[root at eg-mailfrontend elsnccpa]# netstat | grep mupdate
tcp        0      0 eg-mailfrontend-febe.:40538 172.26.17.69:mupdate        ESTABLISHED 
tcp        0      0 eg-mailfrontend-febe.:40536 172.26.17.69:mupdate        ESTABLISHED

tcp        0      0 eg-mailfrontend-febe.:40537 172.26.17.69:mupdate        ESTABLISHED

Furthermore: If done "nanually" it seems to work:

[root at eg-mailfrontend elsnccpa]# mupdatetest -a murder mupdate-febe.intern.tu-berlin.de
