Has anyone run into this scenario where a BSD Box (RELENG_5_4) takes down=
 
the whole subnet for only FreeBSD boxes. Here=E2=80=99s the scenario: One=
 of my 
web servers goes into a crazy state which kills all traffic on the networ=
k 
for only FreeBSD boxes.  Linux boxes can talk to other linux boxes, but 
FreeBSD boxes are dead. You can ping a FreeBSD box (from linux) but servi=
ces 
such as SSH go half-way and never completely connect. Other services such=
 as 
http don=E2=80=99t work either.  Rebooting that offending box fixes the p=
roblem. 
I=E2=80=99ve seen this once it a great moon; however, it recently happene=
d two 
days in a row. Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I have other 
RELENG_5_4 and RELENG_6_0 boxes that don=E2=80=99t seem to be the culprit=
, as well 
as an identical hardware box running RELENG_6_0. Thanks.
