It's easy enough to rebuild a kernel for those who want different. I was going to say that all GATEWAY does is default net.inet.ip.forwarding = 1 (and v6) and probably ups buffer memory. But it seems that the ipflow stuff is also dependent on GATEWAY. That seems like a bug; it seems obvious to the casual reader that whether ipflow support is compiled in should be its own define, separate from whether forwarding defaults on. Or perhaps GATEWAY should force on the other things as a single knob, but it seems they should be controllable separately.
