I presume this is the same problem as 
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=11531.msg63655

My WAN IPs were from a public /24, my LAN IPs 10.0.0.0/24. 
With that setup all DNS requests from behind the transparent
bridge would time out. I put some random IPs from the public /24
on LAN (different from WAN ones, since that is something FreeBSD
doesn't like).

The setup is like this:

         ____                      ____           ____
gateway--|  |----WAN(FWall1)LAN ---|  |---host1---|  |
         |  |----WAN(FWall2)LAN ---|  |---host2---|  |
         |  |                      |  |---etc.    |  |
         |switch1                  |switch2       |switch3
 
(I know that switch1 is superfluous, since emulatable with VLAN).

So I thought, too. Apparently, the subnet on LAN is important.
