It is a server for a small LAN. Interfaces: eth0=LAN, eth1=cable modem. I
believe that I was playing Quake3 (multi-player across internet) on one of
the LAN's client machines when the message were logged. No corresponding
messages are seen in the client's (another RHL v7.1 box) system log, but
then, it's not running iptables.
Further snooping shows the error msg text in file inux/net/ipv4/route.c:
if (net_ratelimit())
printk("Neighbour table overflow.\n");
The reference to "net_ratelimit" make me wonder if it is related to
iptables. I am using iptable, and have since kernel 2.4.1, but I've seen
these messages before. Hmmm.
