I like this idea -- I've thought of doing likewise myself before.
However, I'm not sure I like the idea of sending the packet back out
with a special X marker. I'd prefer if the target network(s) could
be specified:
rwhod -r 172.17.10.255 -r 10.0.0.255 etc
If rwhod kept a note of the payload it sends out, and simply makes
sure it doesn't send the same thing out twice in a row within (say)
15 seconds, it may be better ? This could be implemented fairly
easily by just maintaining a list of timestamped outbound packets
and expiring them when it notices they're out of date....
