    Yeah, the arp cache is the problem, thanks for nailing that one for me.
    However, the ipfw rule you supplied doesn't seem to want to work for
    me... I think for the time being I'll just run a cron job every 15
    minutes or so that clears the arp cache completely. Thanks again for
    your help!! I really appreciate it!

    Kindest Regards,
    Bill

    I think you need to allow arp through this device, something
    like:
    ipfw add 30 allow layer2 mac-type arp
    [not sure which rule to insert it at].

    I'm guessing your arp cache is timing out.
