This is right. For FreeBSD 4.3 it worked exactly ad described in the article.
In the release notes of 4.4. it states that this option is not supported 
anymore because equal functionality can be achieved with the sysctl blackhole 
option.
So during my upgrade to 4.4 before recompiling my kernel I removed this 
option and added the following lines to my /etc/rc.local:
	sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.blackhole=2
	sysctl -w net.inet.udp.blackhole=1
