I have to use dhcp on the external interface, but the internal
interfaces use static IPs. The address is theoretically dynamic but it
never seems to actually change. Also, while one of the boxes on the
internal network is a dual boot Win2K/FreeBSD 5.1 box, the others are
two Suns and a Mac. I've been ssh'ed into the box, noticed that it had
lost the connections with the interal boxes, rebooted it remotely, and
it worked again.

Not much. I just use it as a NAT box mostly and ssh into it
occasionally.

Hope this info sheds some light on it.
