There goes my theory. (I'm running some uncommited code from Matt Thomas for the new ZNYX 314 bridge support.) I was going to try compiling w/o the code, on the off chance that it was the problem (it didn't seem likely anyway) but I guess I shouldn't trouble myself since other people observe this behavior. Anyone from -current see this? > 8/76 mbuf clusters in use > 156 Kbytes allocated to network (13% in use) Heh, mine says 98% in use, and the box is idle, with only 2 of the 5 ethernet segments active. I worry when it fusses that it can't allocate ARP buffers... > ident POBOX > maxusers 100 # <---- Could this have an effect? I've tried mine at 128, 256 etc... No effect. At 256, the code to calculate 'nmbclusters' looks something like 512 + 256 * 16, which is above the 8192 I have "NMBCLUSTERS=" set to. Either way, it should allocate more than enough memory... I'll have console access to the machine when I go in to work, so I can diddle with it there w/o fear of messing something up and isolating some of the machines it's routing. (heh, its just some classroom machines. fsck'em right? :) Thanks and have a good one. | Matthew N.
