pfSense

Hi,

I have a problem with the igmpproxy:
I am using pfSense in an enviroment of round about 120 users, and every user has got its own VLAN to guarantee user isolation.
After configuring and trying to start the igmpproxy it fails. The following is the relevant part of the System log (there are some more error messages with the same warning of too many interfaces I have not copied now):

In general:
As I can see pfSense uses igmpproxy Version 0.1 beta 2. Why are you not updating to the current version of
http://sourceforge.net/projects/igmpproxy/files/igmpproxy/
There are a lot of improvements - but as far as I have looked into the newer V01 files, my problem will persist.

Independent of the version, the number of interfaces is limited to 32. It is not counting the number of downstream interfaces, but the number of system interfaces.
I think the problem is the variable MAX_MC_VIFS. I am not sure where it is limited in V01beta2. Maybe in mclab.h or somewhere else.
In Addition the variable MAX_IF is limited to 40 - this might be the next problem when trying to stream into 120 VLANs.

I have tested the igmpproxy features with an separate pfSense machine with only 2 interfaces and (nearly) everything works fine.

Thanks for your help.
