That's really slow. I've seen multiple minutes, but an hour? What kind of system is this? How does the ruleset look like? Maybe some dns resolvals are timing out? > Googling around tells me that the loop detection code in the kernel is > slow with large rule sets. That's wrong. What used to be slow is libiptc. iptables-1.2.11 should actually already be significantly faster than all prior versions. Please try the current pre-1.3.0 snapshots from ftp://ftp.netfilter.org/pub/iptables/snapshot Please report back if they solve your performance issue. > Steve Bergman -- - Harald Welte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."
