Now, let's open an PostgreSQL-Connection from 10.10.1.22 to 10.10.1.8 (same subnet, same interface "IT").

First try (using psql for a connection), I get

Phillip,

Based on the syslogs the reset packet is coming from another device "Reset-O". The best way to troubleshoot this issue will be applying captures on the IT interface in order to track the source MAC of the reset and to have a better picture of the traffic flow.
