Subject:   IP forwarding: 'correct' way of doing it

Hi,

What's the 'correct' way to turn on IP forwarding? I know that I can either
add "options GATEWAY" to the kernel, or I can use sysctl. Both of these
work. 

I vaguely recall hearing rumours that sysctl was the preferred method, 
but I haven't seen any rationale for this. Is "options GATEWAY" going
to be removed from future releases of FreeBSD, in which case I may
as well use sysctl from the start. Or is it just a matter of personal 
style?
