I have a FreeBSD 6.1 - STABLE 200609 gateway have 3 up interfaces.
First one connected to 16Mbps Internet Connection,
Next onet connected to DMZ Zone (192.168.0.0/24 network)
The Last interface connected to Local network.

this system hangs twice a day. Keyboard doesnt work, everything locks, no
network reponse!
For a quick solution i wrote a crontab that reboots system at 20.00 PM &
06.00 AM.

How can I find the problem which hangs system? Is there any method for this.

This sort of thing is very difficult to debug. My suggestions would be:
- Check for flaky hardware - maybe run memtest86 overnight.
- Run one of the following:
while sleep 5; do date; vmstat -m; done
while sleep 5; do date; netstat -m; done
top
systat -v 2
on a VTY or a serial console and see when it's dying and what was
happening shortly before.
- Check if anything unusual (cron jobs or unusual external activity)
happens at the time it dies.
- You may be able to debug a frozen system via firewire

Or any known bug reports at this release ?

I don't recall this particuar problem being reported. That said, you
appear to be running a 9 month old -stable - have you considered
updating to either 6.2 or a more recent -stable?
