Just a thought (if you're using DHCP)
Are you seeing a lot of blocked packets in on your
DHCPed interface - something like:

:29.751341 2x ep0 @0:5 b 10.0.0.2,67 -> 255.255.255.255,68 PR udp len 20 328  IN
26/09/2001 16:36:30.501444 4x ep0 @0:5 b 10.0.0.2,67 -> 255.255.255.255,68

Could be your lease is expiring (especially if it's failing regularly),
and your ISPs routers are blocking you?

I only mention it because I noticed I have shedloads in my logs, although
our ISP is thankfully pretty slack abouit expiring leases.
Although /var is slowly filling up...

Maybe try the freebsd-net  mailing list otherwise.
Cheers!
