receiving all-one broadcasts from INADDR_ANY



I'm tracking down a weird problem (on a self-written Captive Portal including 
a DHCP server) which works on -6, but doesn't on -8.

It seems to boil down to being unable to receive an UDP packet sent from 
the Unspecified Address to the all-one address in case it gets redirected 
by a NAT rdr rule. If I send from/to a unicast address, it works (I'm unable 
to test changing only the source or only the destination address). If I 
don't rdr, it works. On -6 it work with rdr and all-one.

Am I doing anything wrong?

I've got these rules in ipnat.conf (or not in the working case):
rdr vlan14 255.255.255.255/32 port 67 -> 192.168.24.22 port 7641 udp
rdr vlan14 192.168.24.22/32 port 67 -> 192.168.24.22 port 7641 udp

where 192.68.24.22 is the server's address on vlan14 (of course, I have 
adapted local addresses on the other server)

I've these rules in ipf.conf:
pass in on vlan14 proto udp from any to any port=bootps
pass in on vlan14 proto udp from any to any port=7641

and use the attached progam for testing (changing the port number from 
67 to 7641).

Is this a regression between -6 and -8? Am I doing something that worked 
only by accident?

As I learnt I can tell dhcpd to listen ony on a sub-set of interfaces by 
specifying them on the command line, I probably can drop the rdr rule, 
but nevertheless would like to know what the problem is.
