Hi,

I have two FreeBSD 5.4-stable i386 boxes running PF in the typical
failover configuration: one external interface, one internal, one
sync.  I also have softflowd running on the internal interface of both
systems, to capture traffic flow information.

About a week and a half ago, I started seeing massive bandwidth spikes
via softflowd.  Oddly enough, these are coming from one of the sync
interfaces (192.168.0.1) and going to 224.0.0.240.

So, my questions are:

a) should I be seeing multicast traffic from the sync interface on the
internal network?

b) why would these spikes be occuring all of a sudden?  Our change
control system shows that nothing has been done other than opening
ports 80 and 443 to a couple of IP addresses.  Any thoughts on where
to check?

==ml
