Go with the cisco!  There is something just a bit off with freebsd's
tcp/ip.  I have a subgroup of users who get stalls, if my freebsd's are
not the other side of my cisco from them.  For instance, if they were to
pull headers from a new server on the same subnet, the news server being
freebsd, it would stop.. Same with web pages.
