It's OK, it just means that you have *alot* of connections going
through your box (or maybe you don't route both ways through your box,
which you need to do for connection tracking to work). We have to be
slow in timing out connections, but when the limit gets hit, we get
more aggressive: the algo's pretty good, so you probably won't notice
any problems.

Cheers,
Rusty.
