statically bind IPv4 <-> MAC address at boot time.
In order to use this, the administrator needs to configure the following
rc.conf(5) variable:
- static_arp_pairs: A list of names for static bind pairs, and,
- a series of static_arp_(name): the arguments that is being passed to
``arp -S'' operation.
Example:
static_arp_pairs="gw"
static_arp_gw="192.168.1.1 00:01:02:03:04:05"
See the rc.conf(5) manual page for more details.

mode" and normal freebsd-update on a security branch.
The backup kernel will be written to /boot/kernel.old, if the directory
does not exist, or the directory was created by freebsd-update in a
previous backup. Otherwise freebsd-update will generate a new directory
name for use by the backup. By default symbol files are not backed up
to save diskspace and avoid filling up the root partition.
This feature is fully configurable in the freebsd-update config file,
but defaults to enabled.

2. New feature: option to create a forwarder configuration file based on

logic to add/remove the jail IPs upon start/stop.
Consensus among simon and I is that the logic should
really be factored out from the startup script and put
into a proper management solution.
- We now support starting of no-IP jails.
- Remove the global jail_<jname>_netmask option as it is only
helpful to set netmasks/prefixes for the right address
family and per address.
- Implement jail_<jname>_ip options to support both
address familes with regard to ifconfig logic.
- Implement _multi<n> support suffix to the jail_<jname>_ip
option to configure additional addresses to avoid overlong,
unreadbale jail_<jname>_ip lines with lots of addresses.
