FASTSearch for sharepoint The remote server returned an error: (502) Bad Gateway.

Setup for a non-admin node for FASTSearch for Sharepoint 2010 was failing. Deployment.xml, IPSec rules on the admin node all looked correct. Connectivity and name resoultion all appeard to be solid in the domain. Examining the installer logs located in C:\FASTSearch\var\log\installer were not very much help. The logs show that when connectivity to the admin node failed the installer starting rolling back the changes.

Further troubleshooting I tried running Set-FASTSearchIPSec and received the following error:

Set-FASTSearchIPSec : The remote server returned an error: (502) Bad Gateway.

Bad Gateway? Interesting.

Resoultion:

Since FAST is configured to use a service account I logged into both the admin node, and the future non-admin node with the service account credintials. I cleared the the "automaticly detect proxy settings" on both nodes. I was now able to run the Set-FASTSearchIPSec with the following results:
