I've downgraded back to 4.10 and my problems have disapeared. I'm not sure what has changed in the 5 series to cause these issues. A few observations I've made though: netstat -rn gives you a bunch of kvm_read error messages. Also the output of netstat -rn is completely corrupt (the netif, use, and expire columns show numerical garbage. Also I've noticed that any firewall rule (in IPFW) which uses an interface in the rule takes no affect whatsoever, other rules work fine (hence why my divert rule which matched the external interface didn't take any affect (confirmed via the counters in ipfw show).
Not sure whats broken, I'll try again when the 5.x tree goes STABLE and see if my results vary. Until then the 4.x series should meet my needs. Thanks for the advice, especially the link to rewritten firewall section of the handbook. I will look that over when I have more time to spare. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
