No. > would this make the system lag ? > would this make the system hang Depends on your system: is it something with 8MHz and 4MBs of RAM? I have a router (P2, 133MHz, 24MB). In daily work it has about 200 rules and a throughput of ~160KB/s. Adding 6000 "-s $RANDOMIP -d $RANDOMIP -j LOG"'s resulted in a throughput of ~100KB/s and a nice system load. > or its unlimited? No. HTH, regards, Frank. -- Sigmentation fault
