I have a situation where FreeBSD 3.2 reboots once a while (less than every 12 hours). My net environment is, FreeBSD 3.2 sits behind a Cisco LocalDirector. The FreeBSD machine is a Dell dual-proc with 512M RAM. I recompiled the kernel with SMP options and set MAXMEM to 512M (since by default FreeBSD thinks it only has 64M). I have apache installed as the Web server. However during our Web stress run, FreeBSD reboots periodically. I wonder if it's because a lot of TCP connections at FIN_WAIT_2 state, which causes the kernel crash. The load on the machine is not high (CPU is about 90% idle from top). I could only guess Cisco LD might not be configured properly which causes a lot of open connections. Anyone sees this kind of problem before? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
