      Hello everyone,

      I'm running a network with about 90 clients behind a pfSense box + captive portal + snort (pfSense 2.0.3 amd64 + Celeron G1610 + 4GB RAM + 2 x Intel PWLA8391GTLBLK NICs) and my system log is inundated with messages like these:

      …
      May 20 17:32:23 kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for ...193
      May 20 17:32:23 kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for ..
      .193

      .193
      ...

      ..*.193 is my gateway.

      …

      Everything seems to be working fine for now, but still, i there anything I should be worried about?
      Is there any way to suppress these messages?

      Thank you.
