First guess based on those symptoms (but really guessing, not enough

info to tell you much) - you're running out states, and it's syncing

those to the secondary so both are running out of states.

Thanks for your reply. When the lockup occured we had less then 2MB of 
traffice on the system.

I am unsure if the states would be full but I think it unlikely. I will 
watch them to see.


Current:

State table size


Show states

    MBUF Usage
    11526/25600 


    Based on this should I up my State Table Size?

    My memory never goes above 10% usage either. 


    Thanks Bryant
