I realize my problem description does not state any impact to FreeBSD and so I am unlikely to get a response on that. However I would like to know the theory behind how TCP/IP and FTP should handle this. One question, which list would have been more appropriate (freebsd-net)? Also just so you know I did get some other responses privately. Thanks you for your feedback. Erik, I think your right about testing how BSD would react. I'll run up a BSD VM on Monday(Australia time). If it works maybe I can deduce from the tcpdump why and what is does different. If it doesn't well, I'll have another test case and a little more insight.

I'd argue with "primarily," but since one other person has told me privately that they think my response was wrong, I'll respond publicly with my rationale. 1. His question is unlikely to get answered 2. ... at least in part because he mailed the wrong list 3. ... therefore I'm trying to manage expectations. Now, oddly enough, I notice that my responses to the OP are a hot topic of conversation, but no one has bothered to actually answer his questions. Hmmmmm.....
