IP fast forwarding and setkey

[Paul S.]

Ermal,

I'd prefer a raw BSD installation (Call it a comfort thing, if you will).

Has the pfSense project actually managed to patch OpenBGPD to remove its 
dependency on OpenBSD specific bindings for TCP_MD5?

It might be worth it to just try to build their fork, if that's the case.

Thank you for responding!
