pfSense

Early Saturday morning I updated 2 pfsense devices to the latest snapshot (2.1-BETA1 built on Fri Apr 12 16:46:36 EDT 2013). Both were on existing 2.1 builds, one is a physical server with full processor, the other is a netgate alix board. The full server had no issues with clients or connectivity in the days following. The netgate had problems with client connectivity just a few hours later. After investigation, it turned out the netgate DHCP was not providing a router in DHCP leases. The netgate DHCP server did not have a router/gateway defined for the LAN interface as it should have been handing out its own interface IP for the router, but ipconfig output and packet captures confirm that no router was provided in DHCP responses. After configuring a router/gateway on the LAN interface DHCP server on the netgate, it began to correctly hand out router information again. I have copies of config files and packet captures, but sure which would be preferred or needed but this was somewhat of a breaking problem as client's dhcp leases timed out, connectivity was lost.
