Hi, what would be the symptoms of too many connections from the LAN side?

We have a small network of around 50 users. On a random basis the
router doesn't handle routing properly - the speed to WAN isn't fully
utilized, even packets are lost occasionally (www pages not beeing
loaded correctly, and so on). I've discovered that when I reset the
NAT connection table, everything starts working again for a random
period of time.

It seems that the same requirement - to limit the number of NAT
connections - would be beneficial to us as well.
