Hi Matthew, I've the same problem here with 3.4 (and had the same problem with 3.3). The 'hole' in communication is always just 20 seconds. In the beginning I thought about a Spanning Tree issue, but after careful inspection, everything seems fine. Also tried to swap switches, network cards (all fxp tough) etc. The same things also happen with pf disabled, and happen only on the trunk interface, the management interface is fine. Tried a netstat -w 1, and in those 20 seconds, traffic arrives at fxp0, but not a single packet exits. The server just quits routing on the trunk interface, and all vlans. At the time that happend, I simply didn't have the time to troubleshoot it (since I began noticing it when VoIP customers came in... and that REALLY disrupts VoIP!), and now have an old Cisco that routes that. But the question still remains... The only other thing running at the time was Zebra with full bgp tables (and it was before the explosion of the tables that rendered the old kernels unusable with full bgp peer). I can try to reproduce the problems if it helps the community!
