Actually, another question might be: How can I prove that my firewall really is dropping packets in transit, as it forwards them on? Is there some sysctl oid that would show dropped packets, so some netstat counter I can look at?

Yeah, skimming fail, I didn't realize the machine was not the

much as mentioned.

Given that my firewall is simply forwarding packets in and out, and is
not an endpoint, does anyone think tuning up buffers would help here? If
so, which buffers/sysctl parameters would be worth trying?

Thanks for the help everyone!
