The only thing I can think of would be flowtable, but I'm not sure if it's enabled by default on 8.1-RELEASE-p2. You can try the following sysctl to disable it (I would recommend setting this in sysctl.conf and rebooting; I don't know what happens in the case you set it on a live system that's already experiencing the MAC issue you describe). net.inet.flowtable.enable=0 Details: http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2009/workshops/presto/papers/p37.pdf -- | Jeremy Chadwick j...@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
