I have a pretty tight rules list and don't have that many procs running (ipfw, natd, mysql, tomcat - that's it!) It seems that after approx 10 hours the connection REALLY slows down, most connection attempts on other ports (e.g. 110) time out and I have to reboot the box. After the reboot everything is back to normal. If you have *any* thoughts at all as to what this could be - please let me know, I'm getting pretty desperate. many thanks in advance!
