   I've recently set up a small intranet server using FreeBSD 3.3 and
the FA310TX NIC.  I'm having problems with the transfer rate of the
data packets coming from my server to my clients (which are also
using the FA310TX NIC's), but not between my clients and data
packets coming to my server.

  If I ping one of my client machine's from my server, using a packet
size of over 1024 bytes, I get 100% packet loss.  Anything >1024 bytes
and all of the packets make it through.  If I ping one of the clients
from a client (one of which is also using FreeBSD) all of the packets
transfer properly.  I get the same effect with telnet, ftp, and http.

I've tried swapping out the NIC & cable with another, & I've tried using

a different port on my switch.

 I am also seeing a few strange messages when I tcpdump pn0.  Here is an

excerpt:

07:23:42.109049 smith.wildcard.com.domain
>morrissey.wildcard.com.ampr-info: 1 ServFail 0/0/0 (37)
07:23:42.110162 morrissey.wildcard.com.ampr-inter
>smith.wildcard.com.domain: 2+ (50)
07:23:42.111479 smith.wildcard.com.domain >
morrissey.wildcard.com.ampr-inter: 2 NXDomain* 0/1/0 (113)

Any ideas what ServFail & NXDomain* mean?   I can't find anything in the
documentation about it.

Thanks,
