Default Re: Connections tables reaching limits and connections are being dropped?

It's your choice. There's a selection for this ,but I don't remember where. I use "rematch" myself.

Depending on your network, you might want to consider a caching proxy server if a majority of your traffic is outbound and there's a lot of browsing. I use one and it not only reduced my Internet line utilization from 95% - 100% down to barely 60%, it dramatically reduced the number of connections handled by FW-1.

I've got 1,500 employees on the inside and about a hundred more connecting by remote access. My connection table very rarely gets over 1,000 (yes, that's one thousand).
