yes :-(

Only have one model.
I used stock kernel from releng_5_1 with only some options added. :-)
I'm using a port based rc.d script... I only changed the file paths.
I use tables... I have a 10.10.0.0/20 table, and some other tables=20
collecting a lot of /24 and /22 networks.
I have also removed one synproxy rule I had for http... Since I had=20
problems with it in the past, I removed it once again. (re-introduced it=20
when installing 1.66)

I have had no more panics since I removed the synproxy rule and disabled=20
dnscache. But this is irrelevant as we can't really know what caused the=20
panics. :-(
I never heard anyone having dnscache panics, so I found that *odd*.

I'm not working full time, this is a college and I'm a poor student=20
being explored. :-)
I am going to look into crash dumps.

take care,
