I think you're missing mine. ipf4 has great improvements over ipf3, so going
back to ipf3 isn't an option. You say "it worked in ipf3 so looking at the
changes between 3 and 4 it should be possible to see where it's broken".
The problem is that the changes between 3 and 4 are so large that spotting the
change that cause the problem isn't obvious.
