Sorry for the cross-post, but assume this is relevant to both lists.

It's regarding the default setting of net.inet.ip.random_id to 0

This disclosure has caused a bit of a stir on the Tor-relays list
starting with this post:

https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2014-March/004199.html

FreeBSD is one of the OS's not implementing random IP IDs by default.  I
know OpenBSD has for a long while.

I vaguely remember someone referring to some specific application
compatibility with IP ID randomness in the distant past... Or should it
just default to '1'?
