** Apologies to folks already subscribed to pf@freebsd.org.  This was poste=
d there as well but I'm not getting any responses at all so I thought it be=
st to post it here as well. **


We are having memory issues with PF and 7.1p2 that we didn't experience wit=
h 6.3.   Here's what happens.

# pfctl -f /usr/local/etc/pf.conf
/usr/local/etc/pf.conf:135: cannot define table smtpd_reject_policyd: Canno=
t allocate memory
/usr/local/etc/pf.conf:139: cannot define table smtpd_reject_spam: Cannot a=
llocate memory
pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded
# pfctl -t smtpd_reject_policyd -T flush
94390 addresses deleted.
# pfctl -t smtpd_reject_spam -T flush
62464 addresses deleted.
# pfctl -f /usr/local/etc/pf.conf

So, after I flush the tables it loads.  Sometimes, however, we get a global=
 out of memory error " DIOCADDRULE: Cannot allocate memory "

Here are my entries from pf.conf for various limits.  Everything else is de=
faults.

set limit tables 500
set limit table-entries 250000
set limit { states 1000000, src-nodes 300000, frags 100000 }
set optimization normal
set skip on lo0
set state-policy if-bound
set timeout interval 300
set timeout src.track 1200

Finally, the box is using EM interfaces with VLAN's and has 4 Gig of physic=
al RAM.  There are two PF boxes in Active/Failover and the errors show up o=
n both, although they seem to show up more often on the Backup device, whic=
h seems odd.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. =20

Regards,

Mike
