Jeremy, I'd love to help.  What does a trace from the Cisco to the fbsd
box show?  Cisco does traces a little different that UNIX boxes.  We use
UDP on the outbound, and receive icmp on the inbound.  Also, what version
of the IOS are you running?  I'm sure our engineers here would love to
know that FreeBSD and Cisco products have a conflict.  I'll do more
reasearch, and let you know what I find.
