I'll have to see if I can find it. I'm sure I deleted it. It was just an obscure reference to a bug in TTL but was not specific. We are planning to not only use the TTL patch in ISCS to create stealth firewalls but also to secure communications between internal and DMZ systems by allowing admins to set TTL on a per service basis to allow the DMZ <-> Internal flow to only have enough life to live on the site and not to be set anywhere else on the Internet. We think this is a pretty interesting feature and hence are keen on the TTL patch working.
