I'd guess that we're fully "vulnerable" to this, but I don't see it really 
as an issue, unless someone is trying to hide a whole bunch of FreeBSD 
boxes behind that.

And if that's what you're doing, run PF on the NAT machine, I think it has 
options to scramble such things, no matter what OS the clients behind it 
are running.
