Perhaps. It can also be a symptom of resource exhaustion.
Are there any signs of memory allocation failures, or incrementing error counters (in netstat or in pfctl)?


Well, the only signs of resource exhaustion I know so far are:

- "PF state limit reached" in /var/log/messages (none so far)

- mbufs starvation in netstat -m (zero so far)

- various queue failure counters in netstat -s -p tcp, but since this only applies to TCP this is hardly related (although it seems like there's also none).


so, what should I take a look at ?


Disabled PF shows in pfctl -s info:


[root@gw1:/var/log]# pfctl -s info

And these gazzillions of searches kinda bother me a lot, although this seems just to be a counting bug after PF reloading last time, because it's constantly diminished from 20 millions.

To be honest I doubt 10 millions of searches per second can be reached on a pps of 22Kpps. Definitely a math bug.


Eugene.
