On rare occasions, a FreeBSD system in our network has been known to print the example shown in the subject at a furious rate for a short time and then things get back to normal. Is that what the effects of a ping flood look like? On one system running bind9, the named process died after the syslog message said that packets had reached 243 per second, but I was able to restart it within seconds of its crash. Only the named process crashed, not the system. Any ideas as to what this is?
