Connectivity between our DMZ and the internal
interface periodical drops, approximately once a week. The only way to restore
connectively is to re-publish the rules and reboot the offending web server. We
don't believe the problem is with the web servers, we've added another & the
problems remains the same. Is this an issue with the table.def file filling up?
Correct me if I am wrong, but can checkpoint FW1 (4.1 sp5) handle more that
25,000 concurrent connections?
I'm guessing the connections table (table.def) fills up and the only to purge
the connection is to flush the table. We currently have a ticket open with
Nokia, they are building a script that will clear the table. Is going down the
right path? Another option is to segment this troubled portion of our network
with another F/W but that will require a significant amount of work.
Any help is appreciated.
