      Hello,

      We have two DSL connections on WAN and OPT1 Interfaces. For some reason, on the WAN Interface I keep loosing connectivity every few hours (it may be less, have not really noticed). It will automatically connect within a few minutes.

      On the logs I have: (I X'ed out the IP's)
