Hi Greg,
I also had issues every now and then with softflowd. Furthermore softflowd can
become quite resource intensive on busy
interfaces. In order to overcome these issues, there is nfpcapd. It's still
considered to be experimental but already
included in nfdump-1.6.10. It's basically a melt between softflowd and nfcapd.
It either listens on an interface or
reads from a pcap file and directly creates nfcapd files without any netflow
protocol overhead.
Maybe this does not help you directly with pfsense.

Be nice to your netflow data. Use NfSen and nfdump :)
