I'm using pfsense to protect a number of web/mail/ftp
servers, which it does fantastically. Since upgrading
to the 1.0 Betas it seems to be running out of available
states very quickly. I've upped the state table to 20000
and it's run out within a few hours. Most of the states
seem to be http access with successive source/destination
ports eg:

tcp 195.10.242.40:80 <- 156.99.15.1:11608 FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2 
tcp 195.10.242.40:80 <- 156.99.15.1:11609 FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2 
tcp 195.10.242.40:80 <- 156.99.15.1:11610 FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2 
tcp 195.10.242.40:80 <- 156.99.15.1:11611 FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2 
tcp 195.10.242.40:80 <- 156.99.15.1:11612 FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2 
tcp 195.10.242.40:80 <- 156.99.15.1:11614 FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2 
tcp 195.10.242.40:80 <- 156.99.15.1:11615 FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2 
tcp 195.10.242.40:80 <- 156.99.15.1:11616 FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2 
tcp 195.10.242.40:80 <- 156.99.15.1:11618 FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2 
tcp 195.10.242.40:80 <- 156.99.15.1:11619 TIME_WAIT:TIME_WAIT 

or

tcp 62.6.139.10:51538 -> 195.10.242.12:80 FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2 
tcp 62.6.139.10:40536 -> 195.10.242.12:80 FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2 
tcp 62.6.139.10:24485 -> 195.10.242.12:80 FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2 
tcp 62.6.139.10:37053 -> 195.10.242.12:80 FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2

Should I not be using stateful filtering for http services, or
limiting states per ip? 

It's currently running 1.0-PREBETA2-BUG-VALIDATION-EDITION5
