Re: CyberKit 2.2 Ping, its driven me Nuts..

I was getting in the neighborhood of 80,000 false positives a day.
It almost crippled the database server.  And cause _a lot_ of traffic
just to report. ACID was completely useless. My setup looks like this.

net1---\                                 /---net5
        \                               /
net2--\  \                             /  /--net6
       ----snort-----DB/ACID-----snort----
net3--/ /                              \  \--net7
       /                                \
net4--/                                  \---net8

Commenting it out _was_ adapting for me. :-)
