I was able to consistently cause it to stop responding by initiating nmap scans against a host behind it while it was in routing mode. I also participate in pool.ntp.org <http://pool.ntp.org> - when my server was put into dns and PPS rate was high, it stopped routing traffic. Telneting to the device and disabling iptables if I remember correctly would correct it. At any rate the general consensus I found while trying to find a solution to the problem about the device was poor. My solution was to take it out of the picture. I've had no problems since then. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
