Problem with net/cvsup-mirror

Hi,

I am running a bunch of machines behind a gateway/firewall. To keep the ports collection on those up to date, I installed a local net/cvsup-mirror on one box and all the others get their updates from this.

A few weeks ago, I noticed that parts of the port collections on the machines were out of date. This was the reason:

Code:
csup -L 2 /usr/local/etc/cvsup/ports-supfile

csup checks a bunch of ports, updates some and then the connection gets reset. If I delete all ports on the client, then around 35k files are transferred and then the connection is reset. If I re-run # csup -L 2 /usr/local/etc/cvsup/ports-supfile a few times in a row, the number of successfully transferred files decreases from 35k to ~10 and then to zero after the third or forth try. And it stays at zero for all consecutive tries. However, the connection gets not reset instantly, so the previously transferred/updated ports/files are at least checked, before the connection resets.

When I use # csup -L 2 -h cvsup.freeBSD.org /usr/local/etc/cvsup/ports-supfile on my client, everything works fine to the end. When I use # csup -L 2 -h 127.0.0.1 /usr/local/etc/cvsup/ports-supfile on my mirror to check them out locally to a different folder, everything is fine. Only my clients can not update their ports from my mirror.

My supfile:
Code:
*default host=192.168.77.6
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
ports-all

The /var/log/cvsupd.log on the server(my mirror) shows no error.
I already deleted the entire ports collection on the mirror and checked it out again from the official freeBSD mirror, didn't help.

I am running FreeBSD 8.2 on amd-64. It worked without an error some time ago, however I can not tell what change to the system changed the behavior. I am using pf, pflog shows nothing.

Where would you look next for the cause of this problem? I know, that I could just copy the collection from one server to all others or just update all servers from the official mirrors, but I don't like either solution.
