When configuring transparent firewall (PIX525 ver. 7.0(1)) with multiple context. Everything seems to work but I see many packet drops like show below is this normal due to the MAC discover where the first packet is dropped or ?:
C525-PIX/Context1(config)# sh int
Interface Ethernet4 "inside-1", is up, line protocol is up
MAC address 00e0.b606.5f79, MTU 1500
IP address 192.168.0.238, subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Received 693416 packets, 39479567 bytes
Transmitted 792 packets, 56735 bytes
Dropped 331906 packets
Interface GigabitEthernet0.131 "outside-1", is up, line protocol is up
MAC address 0003.47e2.fbb6, MTU 1500
IP address 192.168.0.238, subnet mask 255.255.255.0

The following URL discusses how exactly the multiple context works, guess this should help you understand the whole thing

That URL gave me a 404 error did cisco move it on the site?
