RE: ICMP on port 3

ICMP type 3 -- "Destination unreachable".

Sound like the one (or both) of the two servers thinks
the other is a next hop for a given destination.
If you can capture the ICMP packet, and look at the
latter 40 bytes or so, you should see the IP & TCP
headers of the packet that triggered the "unreachable"
message.  From that, you should be able to figure out
which server's routing table needs to be fixed.
