Does the syslog suggest that you're running out of mbufs, file descriptors, or anything similar? I know the following sysctl variables are sometimes bumped in those cases: kern.maxfiles kern.somaxconn kern.maxclusters But ensure that you actually need to. How many connections does systat say you have?
