Yep, that is what happened. But I expected it to, so no big woo.
At that point I was still trying to decide if this was hostile or just a stupid mistake.
So I considered dev's idea and tried it for a little while before I null0 routed this traffic.
I am pretty sure it was just stupidity that caused this; as a DoS it had no hope of taking down
a multi-processor BSDi web server.

Thanks again for all the help !
