OK did some more tests.... and found some interesting stuff.
Seems like more than one client on DMZ will cause similar entries in pfsense's firewall logs. At least, I know this is not isolated to a single machine.
When one of these client (laptop) is connected to DMZ via wired connection (using ports 23 or 24 of my Procurve switch), I dont see any RA, PA or TPA log entries... EDIT: False... I just refreshed the logs and still see tons of these entries while laptop is wired.
Some background on network & pfsense setup:
LAN (PVID100), SEG (PVID200) & DMZ (PVID 300) are VLAN's based on OPT1 physical interface.
DMZ clients gets an IP under DMZ by either connecting to ports 23 or 24 of the switch, or by connecting to a Unifi AP which broadcasts 2 tagged networks (LAN + DMZ).
Port 02 of the switch carries most of the clients and belongs to all VLAN's but is not tagged so to allow IoT...
Port 01 is tagged to be able to "talk" to pfsense's VLANs which are tagged.

VLAN configuration on the managed procurve switch is:

300: 1,2,23,24
Did I miss something or misconfigure something in there? This setup has been operating for over a solid year now, and before last week, I never truly had any issues to be honest. I also dont see any problems with my LAN clients The only clients showing the log entries are those connected to the Wifi "DMZ" SSID... I never really trusted the Unifi firmware for multiple SSID broadcast and VLAN tagging....
