Thank you !
My server is stable now with 3572 sessions.
The issue now seems to be the rate of new connections/sec. When a new "ng"
device is created some scripts are run (like /etc/pccard_ether ). The
scripts drive the CPU to 100% and sometimes new connections fail to
establish.

I guess I have to find a bigger CPU now :)
