Yep.  spp_conversation and spp_portscan2 allocate a lot of memory by
default.  If you don't use those two, you'll cut down your memory
consumption quite a bit.  You might also want to look at the 'lowmem'
config option.

Dynamic in what way?  If it's the WAN interface then you need to change
HOME_NET to use the 'outside' IP and not the 10.x range.
