Well, I made some changes and now get a slightly different output.  Please
forgive me, I am not a C programmer.

23/Jan/2004 16:04:18  Address resolution queue is full [-3 slots].
Addresses in excess won't be resolved.
23/Jan/2004 16:04:18  Addresses in excess won't be resolved.

My changes were:

/* Maximum number of queued addresses waiting to be resolved */
#define MAX_NUM_QUEUED_ADDRESSES          8192 [from 4096]

/*
 * Number of (optional) "AR - Address Resolution" threads,
 *    i.e. dequeueAddressThreadId[] and numDequeueThreads in myGlobals.
 *
 *  You might increase this if you have really slow dns resolution and are
running
 *  asyncronously.
 */
#define MAX_NUM_DEQUEUE_THREADS             4   [from 1]


Any thoughts anybody?

Sounds like the thread died...

  /*
    The address queue is far too long. This is usefult for
    avoiding problems due to DOS applications
  */
  if(myGlobals.addressQueuedCurrent > MAX_NUM_QUEUED_ADDRESSES) {
    static char shownMsg = 0;

    if(!shownMsg) {
      shownMsg = 1;
      traceEvent(CONST_TRACE_INFO, "Address resolution queue is full [%d
slots]. Addresses in excess won't be resolved.",
                 myGlobals.addressQueuedCurrent);
      traceEvent(CONST_TRACE_INFO, "Addresses in excess won't be
resolved.");
    }
    return;
  }

Check the value of the constant in globals-defines.h

(Obviously the split message can be cleaned up, but it should allow you up
to some # of slots).

Also, check the info.html report for the stats.
