as far as I know FW-1 needs the routing function of the kernel BUT controls
traffic at the NICs.
At boot time it should be "0" and after FW-1 is started it is set to "1".
You can verify that by checking /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward (for Linux :-)
when FW-1 ist running and after "fwstop" you�ll see that it�s back to "0".

Marco
