Is there a way using the IP firewalling option to turn on/off access to a port at will? For example, if process X connects to port 5000 of machine Y, can I let that process connect, then after it is connected, start eating the packets it's sending on that port? In other words, I'd like to be able to turn it on and off during while the connection is active, but without blocking or disconnecting the client (I'm trying to simulate dropped packets to see how a piece of client software deals with non-delivered packets).
