You're quite right, and my assumption that it would also permit icmp 
was quite wrong, after a quick test.

Which appears to leave the bypassed divert not working with rx/txcsum 
the only viable suspect.  The ruleset is otherwise 'out of the box'.

Does anyone know whether this is an issue with libalias(3) generally - 
in which case using nat instead of divert shouldn't help - or just with 
natd in particular?

cheers, Ian
