ARP problems are associated most times with a bad NIC card or cable.
Check that out. I would try not only a new NIC, but a different brand and
model.

Guys,</color></fontfamily><color><param>0000,0000,8080</param> 
<fontfamily><param>Book</param>I'm using two FreeBSD 3.3 systems,  each
with the latest KAME IPsec extensions in order to setup a VPN between two
 sites.  Both systems are exhibiting the same problem and I was hoping 
someone could help.</fontfamily>  <fontfamily><param>Book</param>During
normal operation the VPN  works fine, both systems have a default route
and can reach the Internet via  that route.  A "netstat -nr" shows the
route and has an entry for the  local router's IP address and it's
corresponding MAC address.  The MAC  address is also in the arp table and
shows up with "arp -a".</fontfamily> 
<fontfamily><param>Book</param>Unfortunately there appears to be a 
problem that occurs from time to time, about every hour or two, where one
of the  systems loses the ability to reach the Internet.  When you login
to the  system you can't telnet to the default router, you get a "Host
Down" message and  an "arp -a" shows that the MAC address is no longer
there, instead it claims to  be "incomplete".  Manually adding the entry
seems to be a work around, but  it still makes me nervous.</fontfamily> 
<fontfamily><param>Book</param>Any ideas?</fontfamily> 
<fontfamily><param>Book</param>   Thanks,</fontfamily>
