You're welcome ;)

I'm happy to limit your ability to issue ICMP redirects if you happen to
find yourself inside my LAN, where you're absolutely not authorized to
be.

My users are unaffected by my "breaking IP", and are quite obliviously
utilizing the intended routes.


Kind Regards,

Scott Ramsdell

So you are one of the guys breaking IP? Thank you *so* much for that ...
