Hello everybody,

I just updated to 5.5.0 but now there are some problems with the dhcplistener. 
We have PF running in a two node cluster in inline mode. Our devices are 
remote, connected via a vpn-server in the inline network. We have configured a 
inlinel3 network for the remote clients. On the remote side the DHCP Server is 
configured, that it relays all dhcp traffic to PF so that PF gets all necessary 
information. This was working quite good in 5.4 (only the pfdhcplistener had to 
be started by hand at startup). 
However now it is not working anymore. It seems that the dhcp traffic is not 
recognised by PF. The log says the following: 

Nov 25 14:43:06 httpd.portal(19425) WARN: [mac:0] Unable to match MAC address 
to IP '10.1.13.43' (pf::iplog::ip2mac)
Nov 25 14:43:06 httpd.portal(19425) INFO: [mac:0] Instantiate profile default 
(pf::Portal::ProfileFactory::_from_profile)
Nov 25 14:43:06 httpd.portal(19425) WARN: [mac:0] Unable to match MAC address 
to IP '10.1.13.43' (pf::iplog::ip2mac)
Nov 25 14:43:06 httpd.portal(19425) INFO: [mac:0] Instantiate profile default 
(pf::Portal::ProfileFactory::_from_profile)

When I switch the inline mode to fake mac addresses, everything is working 
smoothly of course. But then I do not have the information about the 
mac-addresses... Can anybody explain what changed with the dhcplistener 
especially in connection with a cluster. 

pfdhcplistener.log:

For explanation: 
eth0: inline interface
eth1: management interface
