i beleive it is one of those evil broadcast packets. you'd have to brigde
it, or write something to send out your own.
you might wanna look at the type feild if there is one in the packet, and
try and do some sort of policy routing thing to automatically trow it onto a
tunnel interface...and then do whatever....
this brings me to another question.
if i make it so that a policy map matches a broadcast packet, and explicity
route that packet out of an interface using the policy routing thingy, can i
route a broadcast?
if so, i will pat myself on the back for finally coming up with a good
idea.... =P

Well it seems that WOL is a widely used technology. So there is got to be a
way how
pass those packets through the router.
Any ideas?
