Thanks for any advice you can offer. Go with the cisco! There is something just a bit off with freebsd's tcp/ip. I have a subgroup of users who get stalls, if my freebsd's are not the other side of my cisco from them. For instance, if they were to pull headers from a new server on the same subnet, the news server being freebsd, it would stop.. Same with web pages.
