Asunto: Changing the amount of tokens in the conntrack


Hi there, its my first email to the list, so i will explan a little bit
my setup:

I have a linux box with 1GB RAM Athlon 1.8GHz and 3 eth cards.


                        ______
                 eth2  |      |eth0
LAN (300 users) <----->|      |<--->ADSL 2Mbit
                       |      |<--->ADSL 2MBit
                       |______|eth1

I am doing load balancing at the moment, but thats nothing to worry
about since it works great. I am also using a QoS setup based on HTB and
SFQ queues, and due to the load balancing i have a stateful firewall. 

Some aplications my users use quite often, like msn messenger, kazaa or
other p2p automatically disconnects themselves. I have comed to the
conclusion thats because of the amount of simultaneous connections the
box can handle. So i want to change the amount of tokens the conntrack
is using.

I have the conntrack module built-in the kernel, hence i am driving
myself mad to find a way to increase this value. Does anybody knows how
to change that?

Thank you very much,in advanced. If any of you knows anything i could
change as well to improve my setup, i am welcome to suggestions
