svn commit: r186955 - in head/sys: conf netinet

[Attila Nagy]

Hello,

pf and relayd changes...
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=121030115209292&w=2
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=121320866832670&w=2
(sorry, I don't know a better way to link to these changes, the commit 
logs contain the affected files and their log message, so they can be 
looked up in the cvsweb, or in the CVS via the dates)

...and divert-* in the pf.conf manual:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf.conf

     /divert-to/ </host/> /port/ </port/>
           Used to redirect packets to a local socket bound to /host/ and /port/.
           The packets will not be modified, so getsockname(2) <http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=getsockname&sektion=2&arch=&apropos=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current> on the socket
           will return the original destination address of the packet.

     /divert-reply/
           Used to receive replies for sockets that are bound to addresses
           which are not local to the machine.  See setsockopt(2) <http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=setsockopt&sektion=2&arch=&apropos=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current> for informa-
           tion on how to bind these sockets.
