It's a bug in 8.0(3). It drove me nuts for the longest time and finally Cisco gave me engineering code and it fixed the problem. 8.2 does not have this problem either.

Hope it helps.

Do you mean that i shall downgrade to 8.0(2)?

can you give me the bug number

Thanks

I would upgrade to 8.2. I don't have the bug number but you should be able to find it in the Bug Toolkit.
