What you're looking for is this:  (taken from LINT)

# ICMP_BANDLIM enables icmp error response bandwidth limiting.   You
# typically want this option as it will help protect the machine from
# D.O.S. packet attacks.
#
options         ICMP_BANDLIM

Hope it helps.  You'll need to change the bandwidth limit.  I wouldn't
suggest removing this from your kernel.

Cheers,
Marc
