I think I see where at least some of your problems may be coming from.
Start by changing your EXTERNAL_NET to !$HOME_NET, although you are
asking one box to monitor a lot of networks. It might be best to do a
distributed implementation. The other issue I see is that you're using
mysql output which is notorious for causing packets to be dropped. Try
looking into barnyard to decouple the output of snort from it's
dependence on the database. Let us know, please.
