Why do folks always want to allow the simplest of DoS attacks?
<sigh>

The statement "Default IP address(es)" is a misnomer; it really means "the
default external address on each server in the array".
You have to create an identical packet filter for each additional IP that
you want to open to the most basic of script kiddie attacks.

Subject: [isalist] Allow ICMP on external interface

Hi,

I have 3 ip-addresses bound to the external interface and I would like to be
able to ping all 3 addresses from the internet. So I enabled a packet filter
which uses the 'ICMP ping query' filter type and choose 'Default IP
address(es) on the external interface(s)'. But unfortunately only the lowest
of the 3 addresses responds to a ping. Servers published on the 3 addresses
work perfectly.
What is going on?

Best regards,
Han Valk.
