      I'm testing PF2 Beta 4 with squid package.

      The server is IBM X3250. We have 2, one running pf 1.2.3 and one running pf 2.0. Network card is

      em0: <intel(r) 1000="" pro="" network="" connection="" 7.0.8="">port 0x2000-0x201f mem 0x91a80000-0x91a9ffff,0x91a00000-0x91a7ffff,0x91aa0000-0x91aa3fff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci11
      em1: <intel(r) 1000="" pro="" network="" connection="" 7.0.8="">port 0x1000-0x101f mem 0x91980000-0x9199ffff,0x91900000-0x9197ffff,0x919a0000-0x919a3fff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci21

      For PF 2.0, after a few hour the wan traffic just stop working.. apinger also will raise alert. I can't do anything to enable back the interface, except for  reboot. Try to ping gateway will have following message:-

      ping: sendto: Host is down
      ping: sendto: Host is down

      If quite weird and I don't have any clue on howto proceed. I also try installing full freebsd 8.1 and configure squid and it's run for 2 days without problem.

      I wanna try to put GENERIC kernel from full installation and see how it's does, but I see the kernel in PF2 is .gz. Do I need to tar giz the GENERIC kernel first or I can just put it as KERNEL?</intel(r)></intel(r)>

        Is your connection DHCP? If it is a dynamic connection it could be that it somehow failed to renew it's address

          It's static IP. Both server point to same gateway.

          Let's called it server A (PF 1.2.3) and server B (PF 2.0).

          When I monitor arp (tcpdump) request on server A. I can see server B looking for the gateway. I also can see some gateway arp. But when I run tcpdump  on server B, I just can see server B looking for gateway. No arp packet from gateway and server A.
