iptables

[idan72]

Hi,

I need to configure 60000 lines in iptables.
I am using script to create a file and iptables-restore to configure them.

I am getting error on commit and I see that if the file size if larger than around 39000 it failed.

Is there a limit to number of lines in iptables ?
Can it be modify ?

Thanks

Take a look at netfilter.org. It seems to be a popular way to handle larger rulesets. It is another level of difficulty, but you are trying to deal with 60K rules.

First question would be why do you need 60k lines of rules? sounds like you are over killing something that could be done easier.
