that chooses right alias_address for outgoing packets that already have
corresponding state in one of aliasing instances. This feature works just fine
for ICMP, UDP, TCP and SCTP packes but not for others. For example,
outgoing PPtP/GRE packets always get alias_address of latest configured
instance no matter whether such packets have corresponding state or not.
This change unbreaks translation of transit PPtP/GRE connections
for "nat global" case fixing a bug in static ProtoAliasOut() function
that ignores its "create" argument and performs translation
regardless of its value. This static function is called only
by LibAliasOutLocked() function and only for packers other than
ICMP, UDP, TCP and SCTP. LibAliasOutLocked() passes its "create"
argument unmodified.
We have only two consumers of LibAliasOutLocked() in the source tree
calling it with "create" unequal to 1: "ipfw nat global" code and similar
natd code having same problem. All other consumers of LibAliasOutLocked()
call it with create = 1 and the patch is "no-op" for such cases.

Sorry for churn, but better now than later.
-UdpAliasIn(): correctly check return code after modules ran.
-alias_nbt: in case of malformed packets (or some other unrecoverable
error), toss the packet.
- to increase performance do not reallocate mbuf when possible,
- to support up to 16K packets (was 2K max) use mbuf cluster of proper size.
This change depends on recent ng_nat and ip_fw_nat changes.

ip packet. These modifications are functionally nop()s thus
can be merged with no side effects.

With the first part of my previous Summer of Code work, we get:
-made libalias modular:
-support for 'particular' protocols (like ftp/irc/etcetc) is no more
hardcoded inside libalias, but it's available through external
modules loadable at runtime
-modules are available both in kernel (/boot/kernel/alias_*.ko) and
user land (/lib/libalias_*)
-protocols/applications modularized are: cuseeme, ftp, irc, nbt, pptp,
skinny and smedia
-added logging support for kernel side
-cleanup
After a buildworld, do a 'mergemaster -i' to install the file libalias.conf
in /etc or manually copy it.
During startup (and after every HUP signal) user land applications running
the new libalias will try to read a file in /etc called libalias.conf:
that file contains the list of modules to load.
User land applications affected by this commit are ppp and natd:
if libalias.conf is present in /etc you won't notice any difference.
The only kernel land bit affected by this commit is ng_nat:
if you are using ng_nat, and it doesn't correctly handle
ftp/irc/etcetc sessions anymore, remember to kldload
the correspondent module (i.e. kldload alias_ftp).
General information and details about the inner working are available
in the libalias man page under the section 'MODULAR ARCHITECTURE
(AND ipfw(4) SUPPORT)'.
NOTA BENE: this commit affects _ONLY_ libalias, ipfw in-kernel nat
support will be part of the next libalias-related commit.

libalias.
In /usr/src/lib/libalias/alias.c, the functions LibAliasIn and
LibAliasOutTry call the legacy PacketAliasIn/PacketAliasOut instead
of LibAliasIn/LibAliasOut when the PKT_ALIAS_REVERSE option is set.
In this case, the context variable "la" gets lost because the legacy
compatibility routines expect "la" to be global. This was obviously
an oversight when rewriting the PacketAlias* functions to the
LibAlias* functions.
The fix (as shown in the patch below) is to remove the legacy
subroutine calls and replace with the new ones using the "la" struct
as the first arg.

Skinny is the protocol used by Cisco IP phones to talk to Cisco Call

NAT gateway.
Currently, having the Call Manager behind the NAT gateway is not supported.
More information on enabling Skinny support in libalias, natd, and ppp
can be found in those applications' manpages.

case) "inactivity timeout" procedure, only when requested through the

It is now possible to have multiple PPTP servers running behind NAT.
