We had a short outage today and I think it might have been due to our
firewall. I can see that we hit the limit for this variable but I'm not
really sure what it does or if it is safe to set it higher. I found the
following at the time of the outage in the log:
May 23 09:57:27 shiva2 /bsd: WARNING: mclpool limit reached; increase
kern.maxclusters
May 23 09:58:27 shiva2 /bsd: WARNING: mclpool limit reached; increase

netstat -m shows this now:
-bash-3.1$ netstat -m
199 mbufs in use:
195 mbufs allocated to data
1 mbuf allocated to packet headers
3 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses
194/6152/6144 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max)
13860 Kbytes allocated to network (3% in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines
Can anyone offer any advice?
