But I am hitting a max limit of 4000 IP address . Seems like there is a limiting variable in linux kernel (which one? ) that prevents from adding more IP addresses than 4096. What do I need to change in Linux kernel ( and then recompile ) to be able to add more IP addresses than 4K addresses per system? ..
