Yes, the problems were in PF. After merging with the much better pf.conf from the other server, all the problems with communication were solved. However, I was now getting 404 errors with acme-client. I first brought acme-client up to the latest version. I still found some problems in my site.conf's, which were very old. I was able to work out those problems looking at the newer examples/httpd.conf and working in my specific configurations for each site. Thanks for the help, very happy now. -- Regards, Chris Bennett
