I've got a 3.2 box running squid on a Internet routed network and a separate
local network, used by the customers of the ISP I work for.  It probably deals
with a significant amount of traffic.  Since I brought the machine to life,
I've had virtually no problems.  However, occasionally, the server will loose
it's network connectivity.
The console had panic messages of "kernel: xl0: no memory for rx list -- packet
dropped!" for xl0 and xl1.

Upon reboot, the system would be fine.  I fear that this has happened before,
and will occur again.  In the /var/log/messages archive, I located what looked
like the beginning of the problem, "kernel: Out of mbuf clusters - adjust NMBCLUSTERS
or increase maxusers".  I'm running the generic 3.2 kernel which has maxusers
32, which i thought would be more than sufficient.
NMBCLUSTERS I'm not sure of.

Does anyone have any suggestions or info about this situation?
