(thanks so far all btw)
Following on, after some playing around I can create 20,000 rules
(!!!) but pfctl just hangs with 30,000 or more

Anyone know what the max number of rules is, and how to change it?

Obviously stuff like available RAM may be critical, but from the FAQ
I'll know when I hit that limit when I get a panic :-)

I read yesterday that only 1024 queues are available - and can check
the change to bang this up, however I'm lost where the rule limit is.

FYI, I want to cut up the entire net into (as small as possible) chunks
with individual connection limits and bandwidth restrictions.

Thanks in advance,
Dom

  Unfortunately I don't think PF is able to handle per-client rules yet.
  Or you have to create as many rules as possible client IP address (!).
