I run Bacula v1.38 on my home network.  Ever since I moved from ipfw2 to 
pf, backups fail intermittently on my router due to "broken network 
pipes" usually after somewhere around 10 MB - 12 MB has been 
transfered.  Thus small incremental backups are successful but larger 
full backups are not.  I do not have this problem when I disable pf on 
the router, nor do I have problems when completing backups with other 
machines on my internal network.  My setup looks like this:

bacula director --------- router (client)
192.168.1.4 (fxp0)        192.168.1.2 (dc0)

Communication takes place on ports 9102 and 9103.  I captured this 
output from pflog0 after starting a backup:

blacksheep# tcpdump -netttti pflog0 "( host blacksheep or blacklamb ) 
and ( port 9102 or port 9103 )"
tcpdump: WARNING: pflog0: no IPv4 address assigned
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on pflog0, link-type PFLOG (OpenBSD pflog file), capture size 
96 bytes
2007-04-02 13:57:21.021122 rule 7/0(match): pass in on dc0: 
192.168.1.4.52295 > 192.168.1.2.9102: S 2822997678:2822997678(0) win 
65535 <mss 1460,nop,wscale 1,[|tcp]>
2007-04-02 13:57:23.532037 rule 13/0(match): pass out on dc0: 
192.168.1.2.64955 > 192.168.1.4.9103: S 2265048451:2265048451(0) win 
65535 <mss 1460,nop,wscale 1,[|tcp]>
2007-04-02 13:57:23.532323 rule 7/0(match): pass in on dc0: 
192.168.1.4.9103 > 192.168.1.2.64955: S 3452777266:3452777266(0) ack 
2265048452 win 65535 <mss 1460,nop,wscale 1,[|tcp]>

And the rules are:

@7 pass in log on dc0 inet proto tcp from 192.168.1.0/24 to any modulate 
state queue(std_out, ack_out)
@13 pass out log on dc0 inet all

Any ideas why Bacula would have such a problem?  Other things to check?

Thanks,

Drew
