    Hi,

    I'm using the 1.2 RC3 release, and experiencing some weird behaviour when opening the interfaces_wan.php and firewall_aliases_edit.php. When I'm trying to open these pages, the page won't get loaded and the WAN connection disconnects (my pings won't go through for a while, giving request timed out). After cancelling the page load (using escape) and waiting for a few seconds the ping gives response again. Only the WAN connection disconnects, I cannot find anything using dmesg or syslog. My LAN and OPT interface are responding during this time. The machine is not using much cpu and / or memory.

    I've tried this for several times and it is consequent and reproducable, but I cannot get a clue about the cause of this. Any ideas?

      It appears that I'm also getting watchdog timeouts when having little load (1Mbps), I'm investigating this issue and let you know if I find out something.

        When pinging from the interface which is not responsive I'm getting the following error:

        ping: sendto: No buffer space available

            After some googling it seems to be the same issue as http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=78801, but at my configuration the kern.ipc.nmbclusters="0" isn't working and the issue arises in a configuration with low traffic.

            An other box we have deployed seems to have no problems with the 6.2RC2 (and before) releases. Any idea's?

              Finally found the cause of the strange behaviour. It appears I had also a 1:1 NAT mapping and this conflicts with the Virtual IP (proxy arp). After looking after the firewall_virtual_ip_edit.php it appears it is checking the wrong field ($_POST['ipaddr']  instead of $_POST['subnet']) for this kind of errors and proceeds adding the virtual ip.
