I have done a tcpdump and...

#Ping 192.168.2.110  (to blackhole(freebsd) from sykes )

Linux
12:48:29.869824 sykes > blackhole: icmp: echo request

FreeBSD
tcpdump: listening on ed0
12:48:29.632586 sykes > blackhole: icmp: echo request
12:48:29.633087 blackhole > sykes: icmp: echo reply

I am not getting any icmp packets back to the linux machine.

my route on the freebsd box

# route get sykes
route to: sykes
destination: sykes
interface: ed0
      flags: <UP,HOST,DONE,LLINFO,WASCLONED>
 recvpipe  sendpipe  ssthresh  rtt,msec    rttvar  hopcount      mtu
expire
       0         0         0         0         0         0      1500
1180

The linux box can 'see' other packets from the freebsd machine to other
machines, does this mean the routing is screewed up to the linux box from
freebsd?

Thanks...
