Hello all, I have a strange problem... We use a pfSense 1.2-RC2 box on our Comcast Workplace cable connection. It's a simple two-interface box, WAN interface using an static IP that Comcast assigned us, and LAN a private IP, and of course it NATs traffic out to the Internet.
It seems that Comcast has been having a problem in its billing systems as regards our account (our acct is being incorrectly flagged as overdue), and when the problem happens, they redirect all web traffic requests (TCP 80/443) to a Comcast web site. When this happens, I have to contact their support (such as it is - I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy) and have them reset our cable modem. After they do this, I can plug a laptop directly into the Comcast cable modem, get a dyn IP addr assigned to it, and I can then get to web sites as normal. But, if I then take the laptop, plug it into the switch behind the pfSense firewall, reacquire a private DCHP addr from the pfSense box, and try to browse the same website, I still get redirected to the Comcast web site! It seems that after I reboot the pfSense box, this problem goes away. I cannot understand why this is happening... Does pfSense cache in any sort of a way? I didn't think it does...
