I just got caught by block of all 127/8 in ip_output.c, At this point I have recompiled my system to remove it but frankly I think it should be removed from the OS, What happened it the it took out djbdsn along with IPF, now those system where configured based on their respective HOWTO's. Unless someone wants to start changing all the HOWTO's this is asking for trouble. This is not nice, Luckily I knew how to code, where to look and compile a kernel, think everyone who uses FreeBSD will be so luckily. The RFC what to prevent 127/8 from leveling the box, but could it be done not to breaking the tools.
