I'm slowly building up a 4.2-STABLE box to replace my 3.5-STABLE firewall=
box and am
about to rebuild the kernel with the IPFW stuff enabled. Noticed a couple=
unfamiliar
options in LINT near where the IPFIREWALL stuff is, ACCEPT_FILTER_DATA
and ACCEPT_FILTER_HTTP. The extremely brief comment just says these=
control
wether the accept filters are statically linked or not. I suppose it's a=
performance
win to statically link as you don't have to allocate/free filter storage=
repetitively?
Should I enable these options or not?
