Especially coupled with dummynet, which I haven't tried yet. My order for
working on this is now two priorites.
	1. Get incoming packets counted correctly. This is not easy, it seems.
	2. Get gids working. This won't be too hard, but it's less important.

If you have any good ideas on the easiest way to find the destination of a
packet (tcp and udp) BEFORE they reach ipfw (in ip_input of course), I'm
interested (as it will save me time trying to figure this out.)
