Hi I'm not overly familiar with the syncache code, but you _may_ be able to make use of the syncache mitigation by having your server sitting behind the BSD box, with traffic being natted. A solution that may work better is to have a reverse proxy of sorts running on the BSD system which proxies requests to your webservers.
