Symptoms

Limiting TCP/IP connections on non-default route domains can cause potential non-default route domain monitor issues.

Impact

When the issue occurs, the kern.log reports the following message: 'nf_conntrack: table full, dropping packet', and pool monitors flap intermittently.

Conditions

This occurs because the rules that provide connection tracking are not picked up in the non-default route-domain upon creation.

Workaround

Disable connection tracking in non-default route domains.

Fix Information

Connection tracking is now correctly disabled in non-default route domains.
