We have been basing our firewall on 2.2.2 since about a month after it was released. We have a reasonably large number of firewalls installed, The problem is occurring on about 4 of them, which have been handling increasing loads over time. All of them have been running for at least six months (previously on FreeBSD 2.1.6). Two have 32Mb RAM, and two have 64Mb. The swap space in each is calculated as (16Mb + 2 x physical). -- Dr Graham Wheeler E-mail: gram@cdsec.com Citadel Data Security Phone: +27(21)23-6065/6/7 Internet/Intranet Network Specialists Mobile: +27(83)253-9864 Firewalls/Virtual Private Networks Fax: +27(21)24-3656 Data Security Products WWW: http://www.cdsec.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
