There i can stress test the machine for 10 minutes without a problem but on 14-HEAD and 13-STABLE within a minute the jail's network connection fails and only a restart of the jail brings it back online to exhibit the same behavior if i start a simple load test which it should handle nicely.

Hi Johan,

Two questions from one of my previous emails:

1. How is web01 configured (I created a full jail for it like haproxy, as it was unclear to me)
2.

> devfs_ruleset     = "11";

What is in devfs_ruleset 11? (it's not a standard one), I used "4" in
my tests.

Root access might help as well, if we continue to not be able to reproduce.

Cheers
Michael
