Im trying to understand what this patch accomplishes,
and whether or not I should apply it.
I work with Network Appliance boxes, and that last bit
of tuning always comes in handy.
Thanks!

You can do it by flagrantly violating RFC 821, since
you are required by RFC 821 to permit that as a sender,

I think I found the reason that my FreeBSD box is performing so poorly as
a NATing router. When I do an ipnat -l to see what "active
connections" are there on the router, a list about 3 pages long (using
ipnat -l | more) appears. I think maybe it's having trouble because for
