i assume you set that manually, as i don't think there's an amount
of physical RAM that would result in 30000 on the dot...  speaking of
which--how much physical RAM does this machine have?  you would need 512
MB RAM for ip_conntrack_max to be automatically calculated to 32768,
even though the conntrack table would only really use around 12 MB of
kernel memory.  also--is this machine dedicated solely to firewalling,
or is there something else chewing up your RAM?
