Dear users,

We found out that we made a poo poo in the default firewall
configuration introduced in 3.0. Turns out that we don't allow broadcast
traffic to get in on the internal interfaces (registration, isolation,
inline).

This messes up with DHCP which is broadcast unless you have IP-Helpers.
We don't know exactly why we haven't catch it earlier but our lab is
this messy dozens of VLANs, dozen of switches and controllers big ball
of mud.. and we also have the tendency to shut the firewall.. But don't
tell anyone, it's our little secret.

So, joking aside, the fix is trivial (a two liner). Here's the ticket:

and here's the patch:
http://mtn.inverse.ca/revision/diff/53cee866bf422b7e84b41afbc9ece33e9299caa6/with/cfc8491b5041589e76a16d9f6529fb12c80bb4ef

3.0.2 will include it and it's about ready. Couple of days max (business
days that is).

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Cheers!
