Yup... I should always take net dumps before asking questions.... Using the ipfw fwd command, it appears to reset the destination address of a packet, rather than setting the "next hop" address, as the documentation claims. For instance, if I were to set: ipfw add 100 fwd 199.165.180.1 all from 199.165.180.30 to any, the docs elude that when a packet passed through the router with this rule, that the 'next hop" would be set to 199.165.180.1. However, if I then issue pings from 199.165.180.30, the host that responds is 199.165.180.1, and not the target specified in the ping.... So, which is wrong/broken? The documentation, or the code that implements it? -Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
