I'm not sure, where exactly to look for those restrictions on a 2.2
Kernel, but I found:

omega:~ # cat /proc/net/ip_masquerade | wc -l
   1074

omega:~ # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/max_size 
4096

Nothing in the logs...


On the machine with the 2.4 kernel, I have the default

address@hidden:~> cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max 
4096

address@hidden:/proc/net> cat /proc/net/ip_conntrack | wc -l
   1221

Nothing in the logs...


So if I have looked in the right places, we shouldn't be near any
limit.

No, nothing at all that could explain something... :-(


Anything else I could check ?
