> I find this messages kind of weird. Are you saying your servers only run long periods of uptime with pf and *not* with ipf? I run a server and almost never put it down. IPF performs very well, including a lot of natting for my home network.

Correct.  IPF is unstable with our SMP (most of the time) - based 5.x 
boxes.  VERY unstable.  VERY VERY unstable.
