I can't answer your question, but it does remind me to ask what a 
"normal" number of sa-cache entries is.  we got our new software 
load, and nothing's working now, apparently because we're going over 
the maximum # of sa-cache entries, which Foundry set to 4096.  this 
wasn't a problem before, so I don't think I ever noticed how many we 
were seeing.

Their engineers are looking at it, but I'd like to know how many 
sa-cache entries we should expect to see, so I can tell them how big 
a buffer, as we're not sure they actually have an mbone connection to 
test on.

thanks for any info!
