      I found yet another problem.  This WAN DHCP issue has been nothing but fun!

      Try out a recent snapshot atleast an hour from now.

          Yes the problem still exists and we have been racking our brains out – literally.

                    Make that 48 hours.  And Vescovo has been running it for 48 hours on 2 wans with 180 second renewal time.

                    This issue is fixed for sure and verified now by 3 different people.

                      Thats nice to hear =)

                      But just one thing, could you reboot your pfsense and monitor it again ?

                      My issue always come after a while when pfsense is rebooted, and the issue disappears after i push the renew button.

                        Yes, it has been rebooted once.

                            I also get the dhcp problem only one time after each boot.
                            I have also been losing functionality of the DNS forwarder since upgrading to 1.0.2-0221 from 1.0.1 but that seems to have vanished since I started out with a fresh config.

                              as i said, happens one time after reboot, then press renew and the issue disappears,
                              there is something magic about the renew button that doesn´t happen in the reboot process =)

                                I have rebooted countless times and cannot reproduce this.  Sorry.

                                  I don't think I am affected by that bug, It's much worse for me :(
                                  After about 12h uptime (this time) the interface went down, when i renewed the ip adress nothing worked correctly, I could not do nslookup. Didnt try anything else. I restarted the DNS forwarder, it made no difference. I'm not sure about this but my hardware could be very incompatible with pfsense 1.0.2/fbsd 5.2.

                                  Feb 27 08:43:36 kernel: arplookup  66.249.93.99 failed: could not allocate llinfo

                                  Just wanted to say this, I don't have time to look further into this at the moment.

                                  EDIT: SNAPSHOT-02-27-2007 solved my problems

                                    This is not the same problem.  Please start a new thread.  And for the record, we do not use FreeBSD 5.2.

                                      Any possibility that you try to run PPPoE along with Multiwan like in the following thread?
                                      http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,3554.0.html

                                      If this is true please add your comments to this thread. If not please start a new one like Scott asked you to do.

                                          We lowered the lease time to 150 and used a dedicated testing box.

                                          At this point we cannot reproduce the error.  Reinstall.
