Hello,
I am wondering if it is possible to implement a kind of port
triggering ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_triggering ) in
OpenBSD.
This is related to what ftp-proxy(8) does. Perhaps you
could submit a patch that makes it work in a more generic
fashion? Without really thinking it through myself,
it seems that you'd mostly just need to disable the
parts of the code that peer into the ftp control connection.
Maybe such a patch would also be a way to have multiple
bittorrent clients behind an OpenBSD firewall too.
(I forget the bittorrent protocol details but
recall a similar "another connection back in" sort of
issue.)
Or maybe there's another userspace utility out there
that doesn't come to mind....
