Yes, I understand this. But if I read your previous post correctly (note
the "if"), then I assume you'll be IP forwarding across a couple of ether
cards which serve as their respective network gateways. What happens if
you have a kernel panic due to some other application and your kernel
freaks? No traffic...
If this doesn't apply to your situation, please elaborate on what you
mean to do.
