Just a guess, but i think you've bumped nmbclusters or nmbufs up too much (or perhaps maxsockets, maxfds, ...) and have run out of KVA. You can tune clusters & mbufs in loader.conf without recompiling kernel. You will want to see what vm.zone_kmem_pages, vm.zone_kmem_kvaspace are showing you, vmsta

As a part of tracking down a performance issue, I tried building a custom kernel (with just IPFW, DUMMYNET added, NMBCLUSTERS, commenting out MATH_EMULATE, INET6, I386, I486). The system is currently running a kernel from a similar machine with the same settings. The machine does run on this k

You could use ipfw to limit the damage of a syn flood, e.g. a keep-state rule with a limit of ~2-5 per source IP, lower the timeouts, increase the hash buckets in ipfw, etc. This would use a mask on src-ip of all bits. something like: allow tcp from any to any setup limit src-addr 2 this would only
