It may be fixed with newer kernels, but just in case it isn't, disable your page file. At some points, my Oracle servers running RH AS 2.1 went absolutely dark for hours.. Damn kswapd! By default the system will use the memory for disk caching and buffer caching. In your case, if there isn't much traffic, then reallocate it! Put it on your desktop if its not too noisy. If you keep it as the firewall, you can at least say that it was cheaper than a Cisco :-) I'm sure there are many more ways to enjoy your excessive hardware purchase in different ways. Just use your imagination and it WILL happen.
