Hi,
Here you nail pin the problem of big structures, the lack of communication between the different responsibilities:
We Unix people never get clear answers from security team or network team, it is you that have to show the others the issue, and its cause before they take into account, mainly because in the case of DNS and proxies e.g they see no problems with Window servers when you are trying something on your lan that is not working as expected it becomes a nightmare having to test things that are not in your hands like the network it goes with trying a similar config on 2 other servers, if it works there, try to figure out what can be the culprit... In other words you have to suggest ( because never a good idea to blame the others for not doing their work seriously...) by showing the case that works and the one that doesnt that it may be a misconfiguration of a port in a switch as you have already changed the cabling with new and not more success... or are you filtered? etc...
I suggest you look with the Windows server team to see if they also have the same issue, and work together to try to explain at the Network team the issue

aecattr(5) File Formats Manual aecattr(5)
NAME
aecattr - aegis change attributes file
DESCRIPTION
A change attributes file is used to describe the modifiable portion of a change.
CONTENTS
A change attributes file contains the following fields:
description = string;
This field contains a detailed description of the change.
brief_description = string;
This field contains a brief description of the change.
cause = ( ... );
This field describes the cause which motivated the change.
external_bug
The change was created in response to a bug report from outside the development team. This repairs existing functional-
ity.
external_enhancement
The change was created in response to an enhancement request from outside the development team. This adds new functional-
ity.
external_improvement
The change was created in response to an improvement request from outside the development team. This improves existing
functionality.
internal_bug
The change was created in response to a bug report from inside the development team. This repairs existing functionality.
internal_enhancement
The change was created in response to an enhancement request from inside the development team. This adds new functional-
ity.
internal_improvement
The change was created in response to an improvement request from inside the development team. This improves existing
functionality.
chain
This cause is where you have a fix to fix a fix; tracking these is an interesting quality metric.
test_exempt = boolean;
This field is true if it is not necessary to test the change. It is, in general, desirable to test all changes, whether new func-
tionality or a bug fix. This is, however, a project management issue.
test_baseline_exempt = boolean;
This field is true if it is not necessary to test the change against the baseline before it is changed. The test of the baseline
is required to fail; this is to establish that the test has isolated the bug, and that the change has fixed that isolated bug.
regression_test_exempt = boolean;
This field is true if it is not necessary to perform a full regression test on the change. If absent, defaults to true for all
causes except improvements.
architecture = [ string ];
This field is a list of names of system and machine architectures on which the change must successfully build and test.
copyright_years = [ integer ];
This field details the years in which the change was worked on. This field is present in trunk, branch and leaf nodes.
As a change is edited, years in which the change was worked on accumulate in this field automatically. Branches accumulate years
as integrations occur. You may need to manually edit this, though it should be rare.
version_previous = string;
This field records the "previous" version, mostly to simplify patch generation. It is only meaningful for trunks and branches.
It is set automatically when a branch is started or integrated.
attribute = [ { ... } ];
This is a list of (name,value) pairs, defining user specified attributes.
name = string;
The name of the attribute. By convention, names which start with an upper-case letter will appear in listings, and lower-
case will not. Attribute names are case-insensitive.
value = string;
The value of the attribute.
Arguably, most change attributes which may be altered by the user (and some that can't) should be of this form. Due to an acci-
dent of history, this is not the case.
