Re: HOME_NET Limit?

Well, I don't know about a parsing limit, however each added subnet is a serious performance impact. Last I heard, the devels were recommending not going over 10 or something on that order... 316 is probably totally unreasonable for snort to handle.

Can anyone tell me if there is a limit on the number of networks you can
put in HOME_NET?  I'm getting the following error, but I don't see a
problem syntactically.  I have 316 of them in there.  Snort 1.9.0 is
running under RH 7.3.  Thanks!
