ipsec/ipf interaction change was pulled up to 1.5 branch.
(the change has been available in netbsd-current since feb2001)
summary:
- ipf will look at wire-format packet, not the decapsulated IPsec
packets.
benefit:
- you can run NAT for traffic from your private-address cloud to the
outside world, and run VPN for traffic between private address cloud.
it was rather hard to do before.
impact:
- you may want to revisit ipf rules as well as ipsec rules, if you
are using them on the same box.
