On a slightly unrelated note, I have a 2.1.7 machine running erpcd for 4 Xylogics Remote Annexes. After installing their latest software (R3.1/R11.2) I see that now it is using TCP rather than UDP, which is fine with me, I guess, but ever since that, a netstat -m shows 66% of mbufs used, which seems rather high. Right now that is the only thing this box is doing, but later this week, it will be a mail hub, primary DNS, a POP server, and doing some light NFS exports. I fear that that number reported in netstat -m will go high enough to cause trouble... What is the recommended way of increasing mbufs, and what is a good starting point? Are there any other variables that should change as well?
