      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 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
          Feb 27 08:43:36 kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate route for  66.249.93.99

          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.

                i don´t know what you guys are using when you are testing the dhclient, but issue still exists:

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

                  At this point we cannot reproduce the error.  Reinstall.

                      Well sorry, 4 developers where able to reproduce it prior but under no conditions does it break now.

                      I don't know what to tell you at this point.

                                    Yes, those are debugging statements and looks fine.

                                          Don't know if this is the same issue, but i noticed this yesterday.
                                          Running 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-03-18-2007 built on Thu Mar 8 22:14:44 EST 2007.

                                          For some unknown reason, my pfSense box lost it's WAN dhcp ipaddress, but my
                                          WatchGuard box connected to the same ISP outlet(i use a switch to get several ports)
                                          did not have any problems recorded, and it to runs on a WAN dhcp. The WatchGuard box
                                          uses something called udhcpc. I don't know if it's better, worse or the same as dhclient.

                                          Pressing the Renew button in Status–>Interfaces had no problem of getting a ipaddress.
                                          I pressed the button around 20:15.

                                          Got this from the syslog(if was not at home when this happened):
