This sounds promising, but I am confused by the man page on
-deny_incoming.  Perhaps you could clarify?  It says, "Do not pass
incoming packets that have no entry in the internal translation
table."  Which internal translation table do they mean?  If this is
the translation table set up when an internal host packet is forwarded
to the internet, I don't see how a connection ever gets established.
Does "internal translation table" mean something else?
