However, the system (pre9) proved > unstable (would not stay up for longer than one day.) > The problem exibits itself with a solid 'hang'; no oops, no dumps, > nada. > [...] Since my patch was to ip_nat_core.c, I should have mentioned that I use NAT via iptables. Here is an the relevant section if my iptables startup script: # setup nat echo " applying nat rules" echo "" $iptables -F FORWARD $iptables -F -t nat $iptables -P FORWARD DROP $iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -j ACCEPT $iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -j ACCEPT $iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -j ACCEPT $iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT $iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.0.0.0/8 -o eth1 -j SNAT --to-source x.x.x.x Aloha => Beau; PS: Please let me know if you need more information.
