I bounced this question off the Masquerading list and never heard any
thoughts about it... Anyone here have any suggestions?

I've been running masquerading for some time now on my new DSL service,
but have noticed that performance tends to degrade overtime. I have a
100Mhz Pentium box with 96MB RAM, 2 3C509 NIC's, running as my
masq/router and presently, no filters. The topology looks like:

LAN ---------- LINUX -------CISCO 675 DSL ROUTER----- Internet via DSL

After a fresh boot, pings from LAN to the LAN side NIC and pings to the
CISCO side NIC have turn-around time less than 10 ms and pings out to
the net to a local size in my city range from 130 to 180ms. After a
period of hours, sometime days, the LAN pinging to the LAN side NIC
remains good, but the CISCO side NIC grows to the 250-300 ms range which
also impacts my ping tests out to the net. It never slows much more
than 300ms on local pings.

Obviously, this is not desirable.

Can anyone offer up suggestions? Is there a bug I'm unaware of?
