Ok, maybe not THAT important but definitely a Bad Surprise.
Here's the sample (and in current configuration only ICMP packets from time
to time are being passed through unaltered):

snort: [1:0:0] POSSIBLE address leakage - ICMP {ICMP} 192.168.5.2 ->
208.115.104.193
[**] POSSIBLE address leakage - ICMP [**]
10/25-22:55:08.782139 192.168.5.2 -> 208.115.104.193
ICMP TTL:255 TOS:0x0 ID:17365 IpLen:20 DgmLen:60
Type:11  Code:0  TTL EXCEEDED IN TRANSIT

192.168.5.2 is Cisco 2509 if it matters.

box details: ipfw2+natd, acts as a gateway.

2003,but it doesn't matter as I've seen this behaviour before.

PS
 I can provide more details if needed.
