Sorry I've been offline, two trips last week.

I've installed 8.4-RELEASE on the NAT box with the fxp interface:

FreeBSD familysquires.net 8.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE #54: Sun May 26 22:56:19 EDT 2013     root at familysquires.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NEWGATE  i386

and am using the workaround given above which has stopped the fxp interface
cycling on/off.

I'll have access to the other box on Wednesday and will try the other test.
