I have had IP masquerading up and running for
about 6 to 8 months now. It's been working flawlessly. I'm running Redhat 5.0
and kernel 2.0.34. The problem is that recently the hard drive on the masq
machine started making a lot of noise whenever any of the other machines
(including the masq machine) tries to access the internet. As a result of all
these hard drive access's the speed of internet transactions has slowed
down on my whole network. I might be tempted to think this is a hardware problem
but any other kind of access to that machine (print spooling file serving etc)
doesn't have the same kind of problem.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
Jim
