Anyone know what this is about?

Using Centos / Cpanel

Linux server.domain.com 2.6.9-67.0.15.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu May 8 10:52:19 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

root@server [~]# sysctl net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_max
net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_max = 65536

I ran this in the meantime.

sysctl -w net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_max=72000

The rate is continually rising

root@server [~]# wc -l /proc/net/ip_conntrack
65882 /proc/net/ip_conntrack
