As I play around more with 9front as my router, I found myself reaching for some
kind of 'firewall'. I find that we already have a pretty good interface in the kernel
in the form of ipmux. But there isn't too many ways of making use of it as is. I hacked up
something quick to just drop packets matching a filter on to the floor. If others find it
useful I can make up a man page and present again with a bit more polish.

Some examples:
# Drop inbound private range
ip/null 'ifc=my.external.ip;dst=192.168.0.0&255.255.0.0|10.0.0.0&255.0.0.0'

# google verboden
ip/null 'ifc=my.internal.ip;dst=8.8.8.8;src=192.168.0.0&255.255.0.0'

thanks,
moody
