FWIW, the latest 1.7 "FlexRESP" (Flexible RESPonse) release of
Snort can send tcp resets or icmp unreachable packets back in
response to packets that match any of its rules.

Or at least thats what the docs say; theres problems with this
code on 2K Advanced Server and I cant get it to work (yet?)

OK thanks I'll check that out. I thought that stuff was about
IPSec / VPNs etc...

One extra question now ... on NT4 theres a checkbox to enable/disable
IP forwarding between interfaces on a multihomed box ... where's that
gone in 2K? I know its /supposed/ to be off by default, but we're a
paranoid bunch and I'd like to check and be sure :)
