Everytime I start a jail, I get 'mDNS_Execute' error.

Hi guys,

My FreeNAS box is frustrating me to no end. Whenever I start a jail, I encounter these problems.
Moreover, once I start more than 4 Plugins, the system slows down considerably.
My CPU usage, disk usage, network usage are all minimal,

Some of my errors are as follows.

Code:

 
Freed UMA keg (udp_inpcb) was not empty (336 items). Lost 2 pages of memory.
hhook_vnet_uninit: hhook_head type=1. id=1 cleanup required
mDNS_Execute: SendResponses didn't send all its responses; will try again in one second

It is really frustrating because I cannot find any conclusive solutions for these errors and most of the solutions people talk about are for specific scenarios or their technical level is beyond me.
I heard from some sources that its related to VIMAGE. I heard from some others its related to a Network Issue with the network interface. I also heard from some other sources that its a Kernel Problem

I can't quite recall all my sources but I managed to find one of them,
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-virtualization/2010-November/000568.html

At this point I'm quite desperate now and I'm considering buying a new NIC just for self reassurance that the fault was due to the Network Interface.
I guess I just wanted some reason to vent my frustration :(.

I guess on a different note:

I'm looking for a network card for FreeNAS that is fully supported and has no known issues or bugs with it. Gigabit network is fine for me, I would prefer dual port, only for expansion if I ever need it in the future. (Moreover, I have this stigma with single port network cards. Most of em seem consumer grade and pree much only good enough for a casual user surfing the web on a windows box.)

I wanna tackle the possibility of a unfavorable network interface.

May help us if you provided your System Configuration Information. As far as NICs go, Intel is pretty much the standard and most recommended for normal operations.

Ah, my appologies,

I run a,
-Asrock C2550 D4I Motherboard
With an
-Intel Avoton C2550 CPU
Equipped with
-Crucial 16 (8x2) DDR3L ECC Memory [CT102472BD160B]
In a
-Silverstone DS380 Case
Alongside
-5xWD 3TB RED HDD

And since we are talking about network related issues.

this is my ifconfg

It seems that this board runs a Intel i210 Network Interface. So I shouldn't have any problems right?

The issue is that My freenas system slows down considerably. Notably when I am in the GUI. The side bar takes ~30 seconds to load, installed plugins take even longer. Whole system feels like its at a crawl.
