Running Debian etch.: Linux 2.6.18-6-amd64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 19 04:30:56 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux I observed it stopped creating new connections when the local port range was used up, so assumed that local ports weren't being allocated per-ip.

I was checking what was going on by watching "netstat -n" RJ _______________________________________________ Libevent-users mailing list Libevent-users@monkey.org http://monkeymail.org/mailman/listinfo/libevent-users
