Hello,

  I got this rather stupid question from a customer and I got me stuck
somehow.  It is the kind of question that shows the customer has no
clue at all but that's OK.

  So the question is: what is the maximum number of policies ?

  At first I was tempted to simply toss it away as in, well, we'll have
to see how the Perl processing goes and how much RAM it takes to load a
maximum number of policies on a target device.  But then the target
device has at least 4 LAN interfaces, and some 4 to 6 WAN interfaces.
How many policies can you write for such a number of interfaces after
all ?

  Then I got curious a bit of started to think well, if the number of
interfaces were 100 LAN interfaces and 100 WAN interfaces, would that
constitute a basis for an eventual maximum number of policies ?

  So, is there a good answer to such a question ? ;-)

Cheers.
