John,

No, I haven't submit a PR for it yet.

There have been quite a few changes to the script over the past few
months, mainly due to a user with a complex setup (multiple NICs, use of
vlan(4), and some other stuff).

At present the script is intended to be dropped into /usr/local/etc/rc.d
and used.  It's also been renamed, and many of the variables adjusted or
changed in functionality.  If you could give this a try and let me know
if it works for you, I'd appreciate it.  I tested it on a series of
systems we have here as well and it works OK.

Thanks.
