Just out of curiosity, and because I'm not sure how it works, will those messages affect sockets opened from masqed boxes? I.e., I'm using wget, whatever, on my internal net, and when my ppp connection goes down (usually by accident), it would be nice for said message to travel back to the client on the masq box. I don't know why, but many times applications fail to timeout (probably an application problem, but still). In the case of wget, if the ppp connection goes down on my masq box, for some reason wget fails to realize that and just sits waiting for more packets.
