Okay, misc, I'm a dumbass.  My Russian is really remarkably rusty.
Alexey wants to prevent some benighted ISP from counting hosts behind
a NAT device; the problem is that they're wise to the trick of setting
TTLs to 255 and block packets with that TTL.  There is also a host
on the NATted network with some ridiculously large default TTL,
something like 245.  I have recommended setting the minimum TTL to a
lesser value, say 245-254.  However, on the off chance that this doesn't
work, a revised question; is there any means in pf of "setting" TTL
values in outbound packets directly to a value - e.g. "128", or
whatever - not just bringing them up to a minimum?  If there isn't, I
believe that Alexey has offered to write a patch, if he has time to do
so.  >;->

Sorry for the miscommunication.
