I think I have CONFIG_IP_FORWARD but I'll double check today and see whats up with my running kernel.
The ICMP's are all for valid networks (like a 32 IP subnet hanging off each Portmaster) and a couple class-c's which are routed to virtual web servers. Its all local, I haven't run tcpdump on the net to watch the traffic. I'm on a 100 % switched network so I should only see my data, All the machines on my net are getting the ICMP redirects and NONE of them are updating the routing table.
