There's nothing in OpenBSD or pf that reloads any configurations "automagically". > I don't see anything relevant in /var/log/pflog or /var/log/messages > but I'm not sure what I am looking for so I may have missed something. > > Do you have any idea why this is happening?

And "uptime" to prove it hasn't been rebooted. And "grep pf /etc/rc.conf.local" so we can see how you're starting it. In other words, *useful information*. -- Jason Dixon DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net/
