Every time we tried to reach out of the machine, we'd get an "arpresolve: could not allocate llinfo" message. Of course, noone could reach us, either. What happened here? This is a fairly important machine, so our only choice was to re-install and restore a backup, which takes the machine offline for several hours. This is the second time this has happened. If I can't come up with a reason and how to prevent it, we'll be forced to dump fbsd and try linux. cliff
