Hi there, I'm using a FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE to provide IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnels to users, and am getting concerned that I'm going to hit some sort of limit wrt either entries in the /dev filesystem, or entries in the ifindex. I've currently got about 450 interfaces created, and the box seems to be handling everything nicely :) Does anyone have any ideas what this limit (if there is one :) might be? Obviously I can keep on creating gif devices until the kernel panics (or however it would choose to deal with this), but it might be nice to have some forewarning. Any answers would be most appreciated :) Andy -- Andy Furnell andy@ipng.org.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
