rb800 bridge or pppoe-server drop problem?

I have the strangest problem at the moment, if you'll allow me to explain.

We have an rb800 acting as a router. It handles pppoe-server duties for a hundred or so customers spread over 3 Ethernet links. These Ethernet links are part of a bridge which the pppoe-server runs on as well.

If one of the Ethernet links drops (i.e. goes no-link) then the pppoe-server drops everyone. Now since only one Ethernet port lost link, it should have only dropped maybe 20-30 customers, not all 100+.

RB800 is on v4.10, firmware updated. Does anybody have any clue what the hell is going on here? Cause I am lost, are there problems with the RB800 board itself?

Thanks
