I'm having a strange problem with a FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE box: occasionally
(every other day or so - randomly) I seem to loose almost all network access.
It seems as though there is no access to DNS; I cannot get a
connection to any external sites. However, clients on the "inside" of the
multihomed system (2 NICs, one to a cable modem, the other to a shared
hub) have no problem with DNS, or with connecting to external sites (ftp,
http, ssh). The problem seems to disappear after 2-5 hours, and then
reappear in a day or two. During this time, I get no email to/from the
box, external users cannot connect, ntpdate cannot connect anywhere, and
connections that were active before the problem comes on stay connected
for another 10-20 minutes. Then they time out.
I'm using my ISPs DNS servers (on all of the computers on the LAN), and a
couple of others at the end of my resolve.conf. I tried restarting routed
and natd, it made no difference. Here's some relevent info (IPs changed
to protect the innocent):
