Hi, me and a buddy of mine are working on a perl script to automate 
blocking of about 3000 IP addresses.
The script works fine on his box, x86.  But on my box, sparc, I seem to 
have a limitation of 854 rules before I start to get errors and am 
unable to add anymore rules.
Is there a maximum number of rules per chain? or overall?
 

Here is the information on my Sparc box.

Tell us more about both machines - especially how much memory they each have.

Hi John,

Do those of us that use a threading mail client, and yourself a favour..

When you START a NEW thread (New subject etc) please do not REPLY to a 
message received  and change it's subject line. Compose a new messge, 
and your NEW subject will not be buried in 'maximum number of iptables 
rules?' thread.

Cheers,
Michael
