I'm using 6.1-STABLE. I'm confused as to why you would _want_ to have an IP on pflog0. It's just a pseudo-interface for using tcpdump to view pflogd's activity. I can't see any benefit to assigning an IP to it. If you do have a legit need to do so, you're going to have to assign it a static. Since it's not a real interface, it has no network connectivity, and thus can't talk to any DHCP servers. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc.
