I am fixing that part of the netinet/ stack, and i wonder why do we need to make this optional. Once the global variables holding its state are removed, all the code reduces to a small set of short blocks (which are never entered if you do not have fwd rules) scattered in ip_input.c ip_output.c ip_fw.c and tcp_input.c, and I strongly believe that the pain and obfuscation of having it conditionally compiled is a lot worse than the modest code size increase. Unless there are strong objections, I am going to make it standard. cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ipfw" in the body of the message
