>Description:
Connectivity to FreeBSD machine is unavailable via Xylan Omniswitch VLAN after a certain period of time of inactivity. ( However I had cases with active pinging from freebsd box or while in active telnet session when connection get terminated). In all these cases I am connecting from outside (LAN subnet) the VLAN. The freebsd machine is up and running fine.   
>How-To-Repeat:
Wait for a few hours and freebsd box will not reachable from outside the Xylan VLAN. 
>Fix:
1. Reboot the machine manually ( I got to go to the room what the machine is located and either type reboot (as root) or turn it off/on)

OR
2. Keep another Win95/NT box running (in the same VLAN). Apperently Win95/NT box activities keep the Xylan OmniSwith to sustain the VLAN.
