I'm trying to setup a machine that will be both routing traffic and bridging 2 segments of one network with ipfw processing on that bridged network. The routing seems to be OK and bridging is also OK from Side to side, however when trying to talk to the IP of the machine from another machine on the bridged network i am seeing packet loss. Setup em0 x.y.199.254 connected to segment with outgoing router at x.y.199.1. Lets call this Side A em1 no IP. Internal interface with all the vlans attached to it vlan199 no IP configured as tagged vlan 199 attached to em1. We'll call this Side B. 10 more vlans configured with IP's for the routing portion. No packet loss in the routed scenario. em0 and vlan199 are bridged Host at x.y.199.101 connected to Side B can reach all hosts connected to Side A except for the bridging machine Using nslookup on .101 to .254 as a test, tcpdump on vlan199 shows packets in from .101 to .254 and the returning packets from .254 to .101. em0 does not show any packets in or out. However packets are not being returned to the .101 host. IPFW is not a culprit here as I have tried it with ipfw add 1 allow ip from any to any. Moving the IP of .254 from em0 to vlan199 results in the same packet loss execpt on the Side A now. Not all traffic from Side B to .254 and back is lost. dhcp and icmp do seem to be working. I am leaning towards an issue with BIND, however it does bother me that tcpdump sees packets leaving vlan199. Anybody have any ideas?? Thanks in advance. -Jon
