Hi,

I have a utility which basically does an inifinite
connect on port 25... I tested it out on a test mail
server, and the server hung after about 10 mins.

This test was done from the same network where the
server is sitting and from outside across the PIX. In
both the cases, the outcome was the same- server
hnaged.

I would like to if there is any way by which i can
block these flood attackes on the PIX. The problem is
that the connects were full connects and hence the
embryonic connection limit (which only limits
open-incomplete connections) could not offer any help.

Any suggestion as to how I can block such floods on
the PIX... ?

Also, is there any way I can monitor the CPU load (I
use 4.4.4). Because my PIX has hit a max of 35,000
concurrent conns and I am afraid that it might afffect
the performance.

regards.
