I'm using the .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.10.2.3.1.12 MIB currently. I guess my real question is what is the 'VS-FORWARDING' entry and why is it's number so high? Is that a rollup number or something alltogether?

 

 

The .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.1.2.1.8.0 OID just produced a number of 4479, but in the .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.2.10.2.3.1.12 OID if I add up the counters for my virtual servers the number is only 128. If I include the 'VS-FORWARDING' entry its 4359. So which number is the true number of total concurrent connections? I know I dont have 4300 people connected to me right now.
