Hi !

I am using FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 as routing software. It works pretty well, 
with only one exception: Sometimes, once in two weeks or so, our router 
stops forwarding packets between ed0 and ed1 ethernet interfaces.
Forwarding between ed0 and sl0 works normally. 

There are another symptoms. Ping shows only one response then gets 
frozen. Ping to hosts on ed1 returns negative respond time. Reboot gets 
frozen as well, all I can do, is to type sync and then use hard reset. 
The routing table seems not to be affected.

Has anybody an idea, what happens in this case ? Perhaps more memory 
would change this behaviour. May be bad things on our ethernet play role 
as well.

Here is part of configuration:

Jan 16 08:42:44 router1 /386bsd: CPU: i486DX (486-class CPU)  Id = 0x435  Origin = "GenuineIntel"
Jan 16 08:42:44 router1 /386bsd: real memory  = 3801088 (928 pages)

Thanks for any help
