We have a strange bug with Pix Firewall 4.2(2) (3 token ring interfaces). That is, if we configure a snmp o syslog server as syslog destination, then if the server go down for 10 minuts..Bang! the PIX dies and need reboot. This is a strange behaviour and searching Cisco Docs we have found this Bug [CSCdk34295]: Release Notes Customer with multiple smtp (4) servers. If servers are turned off or go down the pix will arp until all the 256 blocks are used up stopping traffic. Wordaround: remove those servers which are turned off or down to preserve 256-byte blocks. The servers include smtp server, syslog server, tacacs server, radius server, url servers, snmp servers. The workaround is incredible! A device so important blocked by a minor problem like a server reboot For now i have disabled syslog messaging, but now i can't view who's knocking my IP from outside. ..obviously there must be a better answer from Cisco to this!
