It's not a problem that can be fixed other than trying to make it dynamic (which would be quite difficult given the current mbuf cluster allocation scheme). Someone suggested making it a function of maxusers; I might do this someday. I would guess that you don't have options GATEWAY in your kernel, and thus the number of mbuf clusters is small enough that you occasionally hit the in-use limit. You can increase the limit with options "NMBCLUSTERS=512" (or more if you need). -DG
