This is by no means an answer to your question, but I thougt I'd mention it 
any way.

You should not use 12.12.12.12 as address on a local network that is 
connected to the internet.
There already exists a network with this range of adresses :

bash-2.05$ traceroute 12.12.12.12
[...snip...]
19  ar2-a3120s4.sffca.ip.att.net (12.127.1.145)  175.786 ms  171.715 ms  
174.116 ms
20  12.127.194.102 (12.127.194.102)  218.748 ms  221.557 ms  221.263 ms
21  * * 12.127.194.102 (12.127.194.102)  217.661 ms !H
22  * 12.127.194.102 (12.127.194.102)  219.382 ms !H *
23  12.127.194.102 (12.127.194.102)  219.218 ms !H^C

If you continue to use these adresses on your local network, you will never 
be able to view any internet site hosted on any part of the REAL 12.12.12 
network.

RFC1918 states a list of free blocks for use in private/local networks
(read it here : http://www.rfc.net/rfc1918.html)

This part of the RFC is the actual interrestig thing :
10.0.0.0        -   10.255.255.255  (10/8 prefix)
172.16.0.0      -   172.31.255.255  (172.16/12 prefix)
192.168.0.0     -   192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)

So use 192.168.somenumber.0/24 for your local LAN, is stead of 
12.12.12.0/24...

But this probably won't fix your buffer space problems :)
