I had a box run out of dynamic state space yesterday. I found I can increase the number of dynamic rules by increasing the sysctl parameter net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_max. I can't find, however, how this affects memory usage on the system. Is it dyanamically allocated and de-allocated, or is it a static memory buffer? Thanks!
