Hi, I was wondering what would happen if I bumped up the value of SOMAXCONN from 5 to 15 in <sys/socket.h> and in /usr/src/sys/sys/socket.h and then recompiled my kernel... Would it break something? Also, would it fix a problem I've noticed on my web server... when someone begins to connect over a SLOW or bad link, sometimes `netstat -an | grep SYN_RCVD` shows that person's multiple connections remaining in the SYN_RCVD state for quite a while, which appears to make it impossible for anyone else to connect to the web server until some slots clear. Not being much of a socket hacker and not knowing the kernel, I assumed that the listen(sock,max) queue was full, and that SOMAXCONN was a limiting factor. Thanks for any and all input, Aaron Gifford New to FreeBSD <agifford@infowest.com>
