The fedora box doesn't do dns or anything. It's sole
purpose is a packet forwarding router that doesnt'
allow any input or output, just forwards.  Currently
it only forwards SSH packets. I may add other
forwarding later but the idea is the same still, no
direct incoming/outgoing connections to it, just
forwards.

That is why I'm not sure if I need ICMP supported on
it or not, and not sure where do add the ICMP support
(input, output, forward).
