I have an Internet proxy that is running FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE. This server has been up and running beautifully for about a year and a half with no issues. Just the other day I had a user try to connect to a host on the Internet and her connection was failing. At first I thought that it was the receiving host's issue because we were having no other Internet connection issues through the proxy. However, I ran a test connection from my home and found that everything worked fine. After investigating the issue I found that if I ran a "route get xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" on my proxy server it would take 1.25 minutes for the route to come back. This same delay was also experienced if I tried to use telnet to open a connection to the remote host. After about 1.25 minutes the session would open successfully. So I ran "route monitor" and found that when I execute the "route get" command the RTM_GET returns the appropriate route almost immediately but there is still a substantial delay in the "route get" command displaying the response. I ran this test on three other 5.4 and one 5.5 servers and found that they all had the same issue. However, if I ran the same "route get" command on a 5.3 server it works just fine. After all of my testing I wanted to know exactly what IP address range was affected and found that it is limited to just 60 address within a specific range (I can provide the range). Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. --------------------------------- Don't get soaked. Take a quick peak at the forecast with theYahoo! Search weather shortcut.
