Yup... I should always take net dumps before asking questions....

Using the ipfw fwd command, it appears to reset the destination address
of a packet, rather than setting the "next hop" address, as the documentation
claims.

For instance, if I were to set:

ipfw add 100 fwd 199.165.180.1 all from 199.165.180.30 to any, the docs
elude that when a packet passed through the router with this rule, that the
'next hop" would be set to 199.165.180.1. However, if I then issue pings
from 199.165.180.30, the host that responds is 199.165.180.1, and not the
target specified in the ping....

So, which is wrong/broken? The documentation, or the code that implements it?
