Hi,

I have 4 FreeBSD Servers connected to a Cisco 2950 all doing inter-VLAN 
routing.  Everything is working right, but one server is getting absurdly 
high latency through the VLANs.

problem box:
root@wsmd-core01:/home/cknipe# ping 198.19.0.1

The other's ping basically the same (1.4ms -> 4ms).


Now, the problematic box is running a RealTek card, netstat -bin reports no 
input / output errors.  The interface on the Cisco 2950 also doesn't report 
any problems or errors on the interface.  Does anyone have some 
recommendations?  I'm thinking of just switching the NIC out, but I'd rather 
want to make sure first that is actually the problem.
