Hello, Within the last few minutes, my FreeBSD g'way reset itself. On coming up, I checked all available logs, and found the following in /var/log/security: Oct 27 12:59:22 Demon /kernel: ipfw: 910 Deny UDP 192.168.1.8:53 192.33.4.12:53 out via sis0 Oct 27 12:59:30 Demon last message repeated 8 times Oct 27 12:59:34 Demon /kernel: ipfw: 910 Deny UDP 192.168.1.8:53 192.112.36.4:53 out via sis0 Oct 27 12:59:36 Demon /kernel: ipfw: 910 Deny UDP 192.168.1.8:53 192.112.36.4:53 out via sis0 Oct 27 12:59:36 Demon /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 127.0.0.1:1077 from 127.0.0.1:53 Oct 27 12:59:36 Demon /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 127.0.0.1:1076 from 127.0.0.1:53 Oct 27 12:59:36 Demon /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 127.0.0.1:1075 from 127.0.0.1:53 Oct 27 12:59:36 Demon /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 127.0.0.1:1074 from 127.0.0.1:53 Oct 27 12:59:36 Demon /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 127.0.0.1:1073 from 127.0.0.1:53 Oct 27 12:59:36 Demon /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 127.0.0.1:1071 from 127.0.0.1:53 Oct 27 12:59:36 Demon /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 127.0.0.1:1072 from 127.0.0.1:53 Oct 27 12:59:38 Demon /kernel: ipfw: 910 Deny UDP 192.168.1.8:53 128.63.2.53:53 out via sis0 Oct 27 12:59:42 Demon /kernel: ipfw: 910 Deny UDP 192.168.1.8:53 128.9.0.107:53 out via sis0 Oct 27 12:59:44 Demon /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 127.0.0.1:1078 from 127.0.0.1:53 Oct 27 12:59:46 Demon /kernel: ipfw: 910 Deny UDP 192.168.1.8:53 193.0.14.129:53 out via sis0 <Messages repeated here - snip> Oct 27 13:00:06 Demon /kernel: ipfw: 910 Deny UDP 192.168.1.8:53 192.5.5.241:53 out via sis0 #

I suspect its got something to do with the tons of ipfw DENY messages, but I wouldn't know where to start with this. Here's the uname: # uname -a FreeBSD De<snip> 4.7-STABLE FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE #0: Sat Oct 12 10:04:03 BST 2002 root@<snip>.vickiandstacey.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/FALCON i386 # I'm running named in a sandbox here, and would have thought that this set-up would have prevented a crash of this nature (if it is indeed that the crash is related to DNS) Anything that you need, please let me know.
