I've installed Freebsd 6.0-RELEASE and had some ipfilter bugs on a
machine.  It appears that after 3-4 hours ipfilter ignores all group
rules.  When I run ipfstat -ih I can see the packets coming in and
hitting the specific rules but it seems to block them anyway.

By group rules I mean I'm doing something like this
=20
block in on dc0 all head 100
block out on dc0 all head 150
block in on xl0 all head 200
block out on xl0 all head 250
=20
and have respective group rules under each group.
=20
I switched out the nic on the public interface as I thought it was that
originally.  I currently have this cron job in place to alleviate the
problem temporarily
0 * * * * /sbin/ipf -D;/sbin/ipf -E;/sbin/ipf -FS -Fa -f
/etc/ipf.rules;/sbin/ipnat -FCf /etc/ipnat.rules
=20
I cvsuped to the latest version
=20
FreeBSD fbsd.abghouston.com 6.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #7:
Tue Feb  7 17:34:35 UTC 2006
whatever@whatever.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/FIREWALL  i386
=20
the problem still seems to persist.
=20
tcpdump appears to lock up if there are packets on the dc0
interface(which is the public interface).  The problem completely goes
away when I disable ipfilter.
=20
Does anyone have any hints/clues/ideas?
