Thank's to all for your response. I'll question the customer on Monday
and probably sell him a firewall. (Should I notice that I hate Microsoft
software?)

There is one fxp and one xl card in that box - but how to use
the link0 flag? ( 'man fxp' doesn't help)

Until now 4.6.2 was running very well - and I doubt that 4.8 would
forward that traffic. (Anyway, I've a reason to upgrade to 4.7 at least)
