>wrong.
Okay, I'm running a gateway A. A receives packets incoming
on the internet interface to port 80 and forwards the request
on the condition that its a proper SYN packet with keep-state
enabled disallowing fragmentation etc.  Verified, the data
is forwarded via NAT to the internal machine B at port X
assumed to be an integer greater than maximum privledge
port and less than maximum allowed TCP port.
-- request --> [ A:80 .nat.->] ---> [B:X .httpd.]
B's firewall rules verify what the router already knows and 
sends back the proper packet. 
I've never had nmap verify the OS of a system based on this
setup. Ever.
With all due respect prove me wrong.

P.S. I was hoping you would respond the way u did, since, if u
did not we both know i wouldnt be using ipf anymore ;-)
