Hi all,
I'm new to this list, having only got my netfilter
box working yesterday. I'm seeing occasional bunches of

kernel: Neighbour table overflow

in the logs. Is the size of this table (wherever it is)
controlled by:

net.ipv4.neigh.default.proxy_qlen
or
net.ipv4.neigh.eth0.proxy_qlen
net.ipv4.neigh.eth1.proxy_qlen

or neither or both?

Will sysctl -w on these take effect on a running
firewall or do they have to be added to /etc/sysctl.conf
and a reboot performed?
The current value is 64. What is the impact on the system
of increasing this to, say, 128?
Apologies if this is documented somewhere. I havent
found it in any of the network/netfilter HOWTO's yet.

Cheers,
Terry.
