Um, not necessarily.  I have a situation here where there is /one/
network (out of three) that I need to isolate, and everything else
should operate normally.  Next time I update that machine, I'll have
to go hacking through the startup files to make it do what I want to
do.  (It doesn't matter whether some traffic gets passed while the
machine is rebooting, since it doesn't take that long to reboot.  In
any case, no traffic would get passed until such time as
net.inet.ip.forwarding is enabled, which doesn't happen until my
/etc/rc.local runs.)

Appeal to irrelevant authority.  Try again.
