Thanks for tips - I'll look into the memory side of things. Now for the
surprise: I didn't touch anything, traffic seems to be flowing well, and
I have

# ipnat -s
mapped  in      52522029        out     43982482
added   1154425 expired 0
no memory       14499   bad nat 19
inuse   9889
rules   44
wilds   0

So what are wilds?

Cheers,

Patrick
