i checked the memory usage a little more in detail:
the free ram is decreasing. the active use of ram is increasing.
ergo, something is filling up my ram. i run apache, irc-proxy, snort and argus besides iptables.
for me, there seems something buggy in the kernelspace of iptables.
but, if i am the only one with this problem, it's maybe not.
There are two things you might do to deal with memory over consumption issues;
Add more RAM to the system
or off load some of the services to other systems rather then directly running them all on the firewall server. And this is likely the better way to deal with the problem in my mind. firewalls afterall are traditionally a single purpose system.

The most any of us can do is sign on as it's accomplice. Instead
of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should swear to aid and abet.
That would mean that security is out of the question. The words
"make" and "stay" become inappropriate. My love for you has no
strings attached. I love you for free...
