Thank you...that did it.  I'm new to FreeBSD, so I've been relying on Greg
Lehey's book, and I didn't see anything in those 700+ pages about this.

Apologies...I read the summary (I didn't see a charter for this list) and
took "Issues for Internet Service Providers (of which I am one) using
FreeBSD" as meaning "Since you're an ISP, you don't have to stay
subscribed to freebsd-questions, which has a horrid s/n ratio, you can ask
general freebsd questions here".  Wishful thinking :)
