Folks,

I'm building a SOCKS firewall with FreeBSD.  I have two nic cards and it 
seems to be working fine as a multi-homed proxy server.  I just want to 
make sure that IP forwarding and gatewaying is indeed disabled.

Do I need to specify an option in the config file for the kernel or is IP 
forwarding off by default?  I read about an options IPFORWARDING=-1 but 
I'm not sure if that's for BSDI or FreeBSD.

Thanks,

Craig
