      We are experiencing an intermittent problem with our failover, DSL circuit.  DSL router is in bridge mode, pfSense passes authentication information to at&t.  at&t seems to think it's the firewall.  I believe the username/password is being rejected for some reason.  What is typical for a PPPoE connection with regards to authentication?  It should authenticate once, then not need to until the session is dropped and reinitiated, right?

      Is there anything on the firewall, in PPPoE configuration, that can cause this behavior?  Below are logs of when it tries to connect and then finally successfully connects.  To get it to work I typically cycle the DSL router a couple of times while disabling and enabling the PPPoE interface.
