--- Comment #19 from Max <maximos at als.nnov.ru> ---
I've never read FreeBSD sources, except pf's last week... probably I'm wrong.
ip_input()->ip_forward()->ip_output()->ip_output_pfil()->pfil_run_hooks()->pf_test().
If ip_output() returns any error, then in ip_forward():
        error = ip_output(...);
        ...
        switch (error) {
        case 0:                         /* forwarded, but need redirect */
                /* type, code set above */
                break;
        ...
        default:
                type = ICMP_UNREACH;
                code = ICMP_UNREACH_HOST;
                break;
        ...
        icmp_error(...);
So, we have incoming fragment of echo request. There are two options:
1. pf returns PF_PASS -> ip_output() returns 0 -> everything is OK
2. pf returns PF_DROP -> ip_output() returns nonzero value -> we have
icmp-unreach message.
pf returns PF_DROP when we have (implicit) "scrub out on...".

Please, correct me if I missing something.
