Paul,

Thanks for meeting with me at the conference and sending this follow-up. 
I'm currently working to insure the code patches cleanly against 6.0 and 
am adding the ability to auto-enable cookies based on how full the syn 
cache is.

What I would most appreciate is a quick code review and some testing. I 
believe everything is functional but I am new to NetBSD and I might not 
have done things "the NetBSD way".

Thanks,
John
