Clash Resolve Counter Increasing

Hi,

How can I debug what's causing this ever increasing number of clash_resolve counters on my router?

user@host# sudo conntrack -S
cpu=0           found=11145 invalid=48749 insert=0 insert_failed=1691 drop=1691 early_drop=0 error=1792 search_restart=0 clash_resolve=901502 chaintoolong=0
cpu=1           found=10492 invalid=48616 insert=0 insert_failed=1748 drop=1748 early_drop=0 error=1422 search_restart=0 clash_resolve=907423 chaintoolong=0

This is on a router with a pretty basic NAT setup - NAT anything on the LAN (192.168.0.0/16) to a single WAN IP address. Two Interfaces, eth0 (WAN) and eth1 (LAN)

The same output a minute later:

tim@ferrari# sudo conntrack -S
cpu=0           found=11150 invalid=48766 insert=0 insert_failed=1691 drop=1691 early_drop=0 error=1792 search_restart=0 clash_resolve=901897 chaintoolong=0
cpu=1           found=10497 invalid=48631 insert=0 insert_failed=1748 drop=1748 early_drop=0 error=1422 search_restart=0 clash_resolve=907859 chaintoolong=0

So ~300 clash_resolve's a minute.

Kernel 6.6.30

Is there some way I can debug what's triggering the clashes?

Many Thanks,
Tim

Replying to myself, but documenting it for future reference in case anyone else stumbles on this.

My router has a DNS server on it. Every query from a LAN client to the DNS server, even though it's the same subnet, created a conntrack entry.
I have a Zabbix server that generates A LOT of DNS queries, it was this
Zabbix server and its huge amount of DNS queries causing the clash_resolve to kick in.

The fix has been to put in a conntrack ignore rule, so that queries to the DNS server from the local LAN aren't conntracked (They don't need to be).

This has

a) Removed a bunch of DNS conntrack entries I didn't need taking up conntrack space
b) Stopped clash_resolve from incrementing at all.

Hope this helps someone in the future.
