Re: [9front] [PITCH] ip/null

[Jacob Moody <moody@posixcafe.org>]

This as obsoleted by cinap's aux/dial(1).
It functionally works the same here except you would
need an explicit direction to /dev/null.

ie.

aux/dial 'ipmux!ifc=my.external.ip;dst=192.168.0.0&255.255.0.0|10.0.0.0&255.0.0.0' > /dev/null
