the only things running are chrooted bind, postfix, and webmin.
ipfw is
on, with firewall_type="open". i've also tried it with ipfw disabled.
Someone who mentioned ARP may be right, judging by the timeout, but
perhaps not if you've turned IPFW off entirely. Five minutes is also
about right if you've got dynamic routing or a second DHCP server
lurking enabled somewhere and is sending out a bad route.
Are you sure the router is OK?
