We're having the same problem but at a FP2 installation on a RH7.2 machine. The machine has 2GBs of memory and it lasts up to a month without freezing. The interesting point of this is that, i'm talking about a Fullcluster and this problem only occurs on the standby node.

When started and without any connections applied, the memory remains constant. When we send a increasingly number of connections to it, it starts "bleeding" memory, effectively spending from 8K to 24K per 2 seconds (by vmstat). We thought it was ok to consume memory when submitted to a high flow of connections but when the high flux stopped, system memory still continued to bleed and never got released. We were doing a stress test before production and waited more than 10 minutes after the conclusion of test and no memory was returned to the system. We did a cpstop and still no memory released (in FP3, NG-AI apparently released it with cpstop, but reallocated it all with cpstart). Only solution was a reboot. The stress test gone up to 78000 connections, but our production firewall has already gone up to 140000. We cannot agree to this "Microsoft like" solution. Reboot is not an option in some situations. For the record, we are using Solaris 8 64-bit release 02/02, Core installation, with 8_Recommended patched (latest, July 2003) applied; Firewall-1 NG-FP3 with HF2; Firewall-1 NG-AI We ran the tests on 2 machines: E450, 512 MB RAM, 2 sparc processors; Sun Fire V880, 4 processors, 4 GB RAM. The two machines presented the same behavior with the two versions of FW-1. Anyone having the same problem? There is a solution to it? FW-1 works with Solaris 9? If yes, is it better than Solaris 8? Thanks in advance for any light on the subject. Flavio Tulio C. S.
