ipfw *hack* *spit* *cough*


OK, I've recovered now.

It's probably easiest to do it in ipfw, since that gives you a
mechanism to specify it on an interface-by-interface basis.  Something
like `deny from any to any !rpf-check via intX' (or, for the converse,
`pass from any to any rpf-check via intX').  I think you need to be
careful to do this only when packets arrive; if you do this check on
departing packets you may trip over some legitimate traffic.
