Re: PF limit on number of natted connections ?

If I remember correctly you can only nat something like 253 connections
per ip. If the latter is correct you would have to setup up a nat pool
that would meet the amount of connections you desire. I had to use nat
pooling on the pix for this, but instead of nating from one pool the pix
choose which ip to nat from based on the src. Addresss.

pfctl -m states is set default on unlimited. It all depends on the
amount
of memory you have.
