It is a little off-topic. It is still dealing with how packets are routed.

With firestart I had to block all requests from my IP. Yes, the request was
blocked. But, does that really prove anything? I'd have to dig into how
the firewall (IPchains) deals with the internals of packet routing. I'd
have to talk with someone who knows a lot more about the internal workings
of packet routing.
