FWD under bridged enviroment...

[Patrick Tracanelli]

Right; I have checked it is really not fwding (ok should have done it 
before posting)...


              case O_FORWARD_IP:
                        if (args->eh)   /* not valid on layer2 pkts */
                               break;
                      if (!q || dyn_dir == MATCH_FORWARD)
                               args->next_hop =
                                   &((ipfw_insn_sa *)cmd)->sa;
                       retval = 0;
                       goto done;


I considered there was a chance it would already work, since the fwd 
rule counts packets.

Kelly, I remember you said once that you had modified the code in a 
different way Luigi had done and posted here (Rizzo's patch for 
revision); I considere patching ip_fw2.c and ip_input.c to get it 
working, where can I find your patches to read it?

I want to see the two ways it was done :}

Btw, (maybe Rizzo can comment) what's the reason it has not been 
commited when the patch was posted? :) It's a feature that is usually 
discussed (probably, maybe I should check the lists history before 
saying so, but I remember it got on topic a number times before...).

Thanks :)
