When I do an ipnat -l to see what "active connections" are there on the router, a list about 3 pages long (using ipnat -l | more) appears. I think maybe it's having trouble because for every packet coming in and out of the router, it's got to look at that list of active connections for the right one to send to and from. Is there any way to make connections that aren't being used go away from the NAT faster? Thanks a lot.
