I set up FreeBSD 5.2 to act as a router. I used the pf.conf script shown at: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/pools.html#outgoing Everything works just fine. Traffic is appropriately load balanced and things work as expected. Strangely after a few hours something just stops routing traffic. I can't ping the remote gateways either. Both external interfaces still show the correct IP addresses. Rebooting the BSD box solves the problem. Nothing else gets rebooted. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Shawn
