Having given up on ipfw and switching to ipfilter (much nicer!), I nearly have my firewall set up. Then I ran into a problem ...

On my Linux box, I can force all fragments to be re-assembled into whole packets before being presented to the firewall, and that's what I've done. However, as near as I can tell, FreeBSD (5.2.1-RELEASE) doesn't have that feature.

So what do I do with fragments? They are a valid part of a tcp conversation, so dropping them isn't good, but neither is just accepting them willy-nilly, either.

Suggestions, please, and TIA.
