I definitely will....

I solved the problem for now, but not very elegant to say the least.

I am using ipfilter round-robin rdr rules to map the public IP on this
machine, to 10 private IP's on the internal NIC.

I rewrote my mpd.conf to listen on these IP's instead, and it is working,
but has not had a load thrown at it yet.

I am going to apply this patch on another mpd machine I have running and
see if it solves the problem. Then i can get rid of my nasty ipnat and ipf
rules that i had to write to make it work.

Thanks a bunch, will let you know in the next 1-2 days
