OK, I've added quick to the rule (surprised I forgot it there).  Here's the
new rule: block drop quick on fxp0 from <badhosts> to any.  Now, when I send
ICMP packets to that host (for testing), I *still* get them back but with an
extreme amount of loss.  If I comment the rule, the loss disappears.

I'm at a loss as to why the traffic still isn't dropped.
