> Next use either connection limiting features (such as FreeBSD ipfw2) Just one word of caution on this one: I've had this activated on our mail server (IPFW2 in 4.x-STABLE) a couple of months ago, and it lead to very odd memory corruption issues (panics that _all_ looked like hardware problems, like bogus memory, cpus, etc. Panics traced within the filesystem, traps, whatever, but never within firewall or just generally, networking code). It took me quite a while to figure out where these were coming from (after much hardware replaced...). Don't know whether this bug has been found/fixed, looked very hard to locate.
