Unfortunately we cannot provide a bug report for now, because we set ddb.panic=0 because those boxes are in production, and were having the same panic at the exact same time... So, no debugger for now or else I'll get myself fired :)
We are trying to convince the boss to order a box with completely different hardware, so a bug in a device or driver doesn't affect all firewalls at the same time. After that box is setup, I'll re-enable the debugger, and send a bug report. One funny story about redundancy in general: we run raidframe to mirror the 2 disks in the system... And like I said both firewalls were crashing together... After the crash our allegedly redundant firewalls were both down for 20 minutes for parity rebuilding... simplicity is a beautiful thing ;) Thank you all for your insights...

Care to elaborate with a bug report?
