Hi Jiju,

Are the boxes set up in a failover configuration? If so, are you running
the latest version of the Watchguard software on both nodes of the
cluster? I had this problem about 2 years ago, and an upgrade on both
boxes fixed the issue.

FireBox III's. For last few weeks on a regular basis
I'm getting the following errors logged.

/proc/net/mpfrules

The activities I see logged be fore the not responding
state are mainly automatic site blocking by kernal,
and some times it also showed repeated subnet scans.

If anyone has experienced this problem, or has any
clue to solve this please respond as soon as
podssible.

Thanks in advance.
