  4096 isn't really that many mbufs.  You should double or triple that.  I
think that large web hosting people use 20000 mbufs.  That eats a LOT
of RAM, but at least you can shrug off the heaviest DoS attack.

  In fact, if you don't specify a number of mbufs in your kernel file,
MAXUSERS set to 64 will probably give you more than 4096 mbufs!
