Thank you for pointing this out.... Yes, I do see code that discards packets when a flag called IFBIF_PRIVATE is set. This is primarily what we need. As you can guess from this and other requests, I'm looking to revise the configuration on some specialized networking boxen so that NAT, bandwidth control, and LAN isolation are handled in the kernel rather than in user space.
