 This is not so simple to fix as LibAlias API requires caller to save packet
 fragments somewhere and then at some time to feed them all back. And kernel
 infrastructure currently is not so suitable for that packet storage.
 
 As a workaround you can currently send packets with some ipfw rule before NAT
 to a divert socket on wich ng_ksocket listens and returns packets back with
 ng_echo (thus packets won't leave kernel), as divert sockets do packet
 reassembly.
