In regards to reliability: The thing that really fscks people using
daemons from what i have seen is the oom killer policies and the lack of
correlation by apps. I just watched quagga die horribly on a 256M
machine on friday once we hit around 100K routes and a lot of route
cache hits. So apps like that may need a total rewrite. I am not looking
forward to trying to get racoon to do 50K SAs and 100K SPDs on the same
machine ;->

You can now disable the OOM killer on a per-process basis by

echo -17 > /proc/<pid>/oom_adj
