Hi,

With some further experimentation, I've concluded
that the real problem is ipaudit.  It cannot keep up
with the bandwidth we have. When it is off, there
is next to no packet loss.  Thanks for the reply...

What version of FreeBSD are you running.  I've been experiencing
wierd packet loss recently, which I suspect is a result of arp
wierdness or routing table largness.  It's a CURRENT box, ~1000
hosts behind it, ~1900 routes - not large by any stretch of the
imagination.  Packet loss doesn't seem related to bandwidth.
