I've noticed some wierd things going on with my firewall. Everything is
currently working fine, but every so often, I get a syslog message saying: 

Apr 18 00:38:01 fw dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on ep0 to 24.64.63.195 port 67
Apr 18 00:38:01 fw dhclient: send_packet: No route to host

Two curiosities: my system clock says its (correctly) April 17 18:38, and
despite these messages, I still have a connection to the outside.

Can someone offer an explaination? My system's a 1.5/i385

Thanks.
