I think all will be well if > NMBCLUSTERS is increased. I've got NMBCLUSTERS set to 10240..... Higher still? I've got no idea what caused this.... I have a ep0 card, configured like this: ep0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 204.137.237.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 204.137.237.255 inet 205.253.12.3 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 205.253.12.3 ether 00:20:af:3a:46:e7 Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 204.137.237.254 UGSc 112 20659 ep0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 2666 lo0 204.137.237 link#2 UC 0 0 204.137.237.1 0:20:af:1a:14:eb UHLW 1 1651 ep0 865 204.137.237.2 0:80:19:35:c6:4b UHLW 6 403798 ep0 1200 204.137.237.3 0:20:af:3a:46:e7 UHLW 3 1343069 lo0 204.137.237.8 0:40:5:41:d3:32 UHLW 4 20170 ep0 693 204.137.237.254 0:0:c:31:b9:e1 UHLW 113 1 ep0 670 205.253.12 link#2 UCSc 0 0 205.253.12.3 0:20:af:3a:46:e7 UHLW 1 726508 lo0 => 205.253.12.3/32 link#2 UC 0 0 (the machine is talking to itself a lot through it's two interfaces... there are two ircd's running on this machine, each bound to one IP address, but they also are connected together) In any case, it's not happening now, and I wasn't able to reproduce it either.... I guess if it happens again, i'll try to get in there before it dies and see what has happened to the routing table.
