I think I'm not fully understanding asymmetric NAT'ing...
Server A has Inbound NAT all ports/applications via Public-IP A.
Server A traffic is routed and Outbound NAT'd via Public-IP B.
Remote Host A pings Server A via Public-IP A and gets a reply from Public-IP A.
Server A pings Remote Host A, ping is received by Remote Host A from Public-IP B.
Why is the ping from Remote Host A -> Public-IP A received by Remote Host A via Public-IP A and not Public-IP B?
Wouldn't Remote Host A get reply packets from Public-IP B and drop them (because it never sent echo packets to that IP)?
*EDIT: I see similar behavior for any TCP connection via telnet from Remote Host A -> Public-IP A. The connection establishes and I see src/dst packets for Public-IP A only.
