Has anyone here tried setting net.inet.ip.fastforwarding on in a high traffic enviroment? This setting DRASTICALLY speeds up transfers between boxes talking through a freebsd gateway when you are using 2 100mbit interfaces, but it seems to kernel panic the system after a few minutes. Anyone got any ideas why its doing this, and any suggestions for fixing it? This problem was experienced under both 4.0-CURRENT and 4.0-STABLE Thanks Andrew Alston Citec Network Securities (Director) Phone: +27 11 787 4241 Fax: +27 11 787 4259 Cell: +27 83 602 5370 Email: andrew@cnsec.co.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
