System slowdown on NAT installl
I've just gone ahead and re-installed a testing distribution, and I'm
trying to restore my original setup, which was a simple debian box in
front of a windows machine, debian box running NAT via firehol, debian
running dhcp. The interesting/perplexing part is this: As soon as I
start to go heavy internet usage on usage on the windows machine, the
linux nat box slows down to unreasonable speeds. There isn't anything
really apparent to me going on in top. I'm using firehol to do the nat,
along with the rest of the firewalling. I never had this problem before
I re-installed the OS, but now its making the system unusable. I'm not
looking for specific solutions since this isn't that sort of question,
but if anyone has any general avenues I can look into, to figure out
what's making the system crawl, I would much appreciate it.
Thanks,
Matt
