A patch for this issue, against FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE, is now available at this location: http://people.freebsd.org/~bms/ipmaxgroups.diff The general logic of the patch should also be applicable to other 4.4BSD-derived operating systems; the patch will probably also apply to HEAD with little or no fuzz. I have performed some initial testing (using mtest driven via jot to join a set of ephemeral multicast groups) on a 2-cpu system and it looks good from here. I would greatly appreciate further testing, particularly in a production routing environment such as yours, if at all possible. When I receive more feedback I will be happy to commit the patch. Because of the nature of this patch, it will break the ABI with regards to the ip_mroute kernel module (IPv4 multicast routing), therefore the patch can only be committed to HEAD for the time being.
