sorry, heres a uname
x# uname -a
FreeBSD x.worxtech.net 6.3-STABLE FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE #1: Sun May 25
12:15:51 CDT 2008 worxtech at x.worxtech.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/X
i386
also i should point out that this machine has ~ 100 alias addresses on
it, and the problem doesnt seem to appear with all of them, some
appear to have a proper counter.
x# netstat -nibf inet
Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Ibytes
Opkts Oerrs Obytes Coll
fxp0 1500 208.110.87 208.110.87.43 16734290 - 3093571704

46376 - 2604545 -
heres output from the address i posted before, which is the highest
usage on the machine
fxp0 1500 208.110.87 208.110.87.83 169838660 - 400838840
1520 - 136897 -
as you can see, the obytes hasnt gone up in a few days.
i'm not quite sure why this problem is persistent but could it be
related to my netmask address for the inet alias?
i did some research and it appears i should be using 0xffffffff for my
netmask for the alias interface? please let me know any thaughts you
may have.
