the kernel; this was left over from the earlier protocol-dependent
kernel multicast routing code.
Learn how to handle the malloc'd multicast routing table (instead of
expecting it to be in mbufs)
Remove the dns lookup code in the ipx functions. That is bogus and slows
things like netstat -r(f ipx) down, without gaining anything.
Remove the ipx error protocol statistics.
This stuff should not be too destructive if the IPDIVERT is not compiled in..
be aware that this changes the size of the ip_fw struct
so ipfw needs to be recompiled to use it.. more changes coming to clean this up.
route.c: look up the netname as-is first before the shifted name. this
makes a big speed difference, as the lookups are generally local
DNS. The shifted names can be very wrong (there is still guessing
and fudging involved) and usually go remote, taking a long time
to fail. If you have the RFC reccomended netnames in your reverse
lookups, this is even faster still.
main.c: dont do a sethostent(1) - this is causing the resolver to use a
VC (tcp) connection to the resolver, which has more overheads and
is slower than the default UDP case. This once made sense when
everything was based on text host tables.

This is a bulk mport of Mike's IPX/SPX protocol stacks and all the
related gunf that goes with it..
it is not guaranteed to work 100% correctly at this time
but as we had several people trying to work on it
I figured it would be better to get it checked in so
they could all get teh same thing to work on..
Mikes been using it for a year or so
but on 2.0
more changes and stuff will be merged in from other developers now that this is in.

the way it stores and handles "interface". The previous behavior resulted
in strange output from 'w' and 'ps' when an interface specification was
given to netstat.
Look at error return of kread() and stop on error.
Fix warning in kread() to not output "kvm_read:" twice.
Killed PCB cache misses stat as we no longer have it.
