Guys,

The packet loss I asked about earlier is getting weirder and weirder. I managed 
to track this down to being between two specific hosts exclusively.

When I run mtr from saffron to cumin I get packet loss reported on all 
intermediate routers. When I run mtr from cumin to saffron I get packet loss 
reported only on the end hop to saffron. 

But (and here it gets weird) when I run mtr from saffron to any other host on 
the Internet (although I have not tried exhaustively) I get *no* packet loss at 
all.

So what I expect now is that this is a hardware issue with the NIC in Saffron 
that only affects the traffic going to cumin and not traffic to any other host.

I will swap the NIC in saffron, but I just wanted to check:

* can this be caused by the fact that I use fwd rules in ipfw? Both Saffron and 
Cumin have such  rule.
* Can this be caused by IP aliassing? With Saffron and cumin use two IP 
addresses on their NIC.
* Anything else?

I hate unit tests; I much prefer the illusion that there are no errors in my 
code.
