I am running FreeBSD 3.2 Release on a firewall machine using IPFW and NAT. There are two ethernet interfaces. The external interface is physically connected to our Internet router only. There are three IP addresses on the external interface that are aliased to three addresses on the internal interface. A few days ago I needed to turn off the external interface "ifconfig ed2 down" in order for our ISP to do some work on the router. Ever since I reactivated the interface with "ifconfig ed2 up" kernel log messages similar to the following example have been appearing in /var/log/messages file approximately every second. (IP addresses and hostnames changed to protect anonymity.): Dec 13 09:33:48 firewall /kernel: arplookup 999.999.999.1 failed: could not allocate llinfo Dec 13 09:33:48 firewall /kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 999.999.999.1rt Dec 13 09:33:48 firewall /kernel: arplookup 999.999.999.2 failed: could not allocate llinfo Dec 13 09:33:48 firewall /kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 999.999.999.2rt Dec 13 09:33:48 firewall /kernel: arplookup 999.999.999.3 failed: could not allocate llinfo Dec 13 09:33:48 firewall /kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 999.999.999.3rt The firewall seems to be working as well as before and these messages are the only indication of a problem. How can I correct this (other than rebooting the machine)? PS Please CC any replies to my address as I cannot subscribe to freebsd-questions - the volume is to much for my email account.
