Description

A router with a simple policy that denies most addresses starts and uses 10M bytes of memory. A test client loops 25k times opening a link to a denied address over a single connection and session. Now the router uses 276 Mbytes.

An example policy is

```
[
["vhost", {
"hostname": "$default",
"allowUnknownUser": true,
"groups" : {
"$default":

{ "remoteHosts": "*", "allowDynamicSource": true, "allowAnonymousSender": true, "sources": "$management, examples, q1", "targets": "$management, examples, q1" }

}
}]
]

```
