Hello,
  I have reported bug 209491 (Broadcast storm with ipfw+natd+gateway)
for -CURRENT, but now it is also in 11-STABLE. It is still here, as
I have tested it today with src r305790 (11.0-PRERELEASE).

So please be warned. If you are using similar configuration as me
with ipfw+natd+gateway, you can see unusual traffic on your outer
network. In our case, three servers with outer interface on the same
local network (broadcast domain) plus some workstations with netbios
queries means seriously overloaded network.

Best regards.
