I have two machines running 2.2.2. The first machine (let's called it A)
is connected to a LAN. The second one (B) is attached to A via PPP. A is
also doing proxy arp for B.

How do I make A forward broadcast packets between B and the LAN? I tried
to turn on the sysctl variable net.inet.ip.directed_broadcast but the
variable does not seem to exist.
