That makes sense.

I rebooted my machine with Indigo and all my routers and it appears to have recognized one of my iPhones by it MAC address and not its IPv4 address (there are also IPv6 addresses in the log too). I will check the variables in a few hours to see if it is indeed working.
How are you making out with this?
I've been trying for a few hours to get the port forwarding using WaterRoof to work with no luck. WaterRoof indicates the firewall rule is indeed filtering the packets. My current theory is that they must be getting dropped by the python socket call because the destination port in the packet header is still 514 since the header is not rewritten by ipfw. I'll try adding a natd rule that will rewrite the packet header with the correct port number and see what happens. If any network guru's are reading this, any suggestions would be helpful, I'm running out of ideas!
