I actually need to see how a packet that the IPSEC code generates is 
passes through PF (What rules it is (not) matching etc).  At the moment 
it seems that it is either a) not passing through pf at all, b) For some 
reason not matching the source routing rule.

Is there anyway to see this, possibly by setting debuging to loud (pfctl 
-x loud) ?
