Ok, here is it and also a netstat -m thrown in. The numbers are pretty low
because I rebooted after compiling a kernel with IPFIREWALL, ROUTETABLES,
MROUTING and FLOWTABLE removed. I'll add my kernel config file with empty
and commented out lines removed.
After rebooting, I first tested with vlans (that is in my rc.conf) and then
tested with the vlans unconfigured on ix2.
