Hi,

Hi,

I forgot to say that I have already set this option to 3000000 in my pf.conf. I have tried to split the table in smaller pieces (~450000 entries in each table) but the command "pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf" gives me the same memory issue when loading the third table. I don't know the precise number but it seems that there is a limit near 1000000 entries for the sum of all tables, even with the limit table-entries set to 3000000.

I am trying to detect problems on hosts in my network : I want to
detect when a communication occurs with a compromised host.
I have built a blacklist which holds near 2 millions ip (spam,
malware.... hosts).

But I can't load it into pf, I get this when I try :

    /etc/pf.conf:6: cannot define table bl: Cannot allocate
memory
    pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded

I suspect there is a memory limitation somewhere (in the kernel ??)
which prevent me from loading the table but I am not very
comfortable with kernel variables.
I have already try modifying kern.maxssiz and kern.dflsiz without
success.

Any idea?
