      I notice this strange problem :

      I have 4 NIC, first NIC is WAN, the second is for LAN, and the third and forth NIC is bridged with LAN. (OPT1,OPT2)
      dhcpd is activated for LAN.

      Now, If have a 3 computer plugged to LAN,OPT1 and OPT2, Then the computers connected to firewall get new IP from dhcpd.
      However, If I shutdown the computer that was connected TO LAN nic, the other two computer doesn't get any IP from dhcp.

      Is this naturel ?

      I am using pfsense BETA 4.

        Unfortunately all interfaces of a bridge have to be up for the other interfaces to work. This is a known limitation.
