 Hi

 I have been testing NAT with UDP and a port range of  10001 - 16383.   This
 is on 1.2 final, embedded on i386.

You might want to disable NAT reflection (System-Advanced if my
memory serves) if you need to redirect that large of a range.  Of
course, you'll need to have a properly architected split-DNS to
achieve this :)

 OK revert to original wide range the following is logged:
 Apr 24 11:20:02  php: : Not installing nat reflection rules for a port range
  500
 Apr 24 11:19:53  login: login on console as root
 Apr 24 11:19:51  php: /ifstats.php: [DEBUG] Lock recursion detected.

 Seems the DEBUG message is a bug that you might wish to know about?

Thanks, not sure, but we'll look into it.

 Of course I can enter 13 NAT blocks of ~ 500 ports each to achieve the
 required range of 6382 ports, is that intended by design in these days of
 VOIP?

Not sure - all VOIP I've done the connections are all outbound from my
network to the phone system.  I wouldn't have expected such a large
range to be forwarded inbound.  Maybe someone with more VOIP
experience can comment.

As always thank you again Bill

Now I think the penny has dropped and I now understand that message Not 
installing nat reflection rules for a port range 500

The default Trixbox incoming audio port range is closer to 10001 to 2, I've 
cut mine down!  

One of the main reasons for using pfSense here is the NAT reflection works.  

To my knowledge there is, however, no need for NAT reflection to work on the 
incoming VOIP ports? 

Perhaps others know otherwise?

Kind regards
David Hingston

duh, yeah :)  So yeah, the reflection rules aren't enabled for large
ranges, that's all the error is showing.  Disabling reflection,
generically won't help any more than removing the message entirely.

  To my knowledge there is, however, no need for NAT reflection to work on the 
 incoming VOIP ports?

Shouldn't need to unless somehow calls within the voice switch need to
go outside to come back in (seems kinda stupid to me)
