I have not bothered with the limits since only traffic going to just 3 sites is redirected to this proxy (see Issue 389 on the tracker), so the traffic should not have caused such load. But a week ago I could somehow open the port for the whole world. There was no ACL and other limits set, since I thought only people from my trusted subnet could access it. That means that 10^5 or more people from the whole world were *using* that proxy and this is a big kudos to the OS because it could actually _handle_ the situation which has been going on for a week or so. I only noticed some hangups that took 10 minutes. Funny thing is that it started about the same time I upgraded the box to 1_10_RELEASE and I suspected there was a problem with the OS. Thanks again for your hints, Matt, and sorry for the noise. -- Gergo Szakal MD <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> University Of Szeged, HU Faculty Of General Medicine /* Please do not CC me with replies, thank you. */
