Well, I consider the hiding patch to be a simplier and better approach to this
strange behaviour in Linux (compared to other OS and systems) than needing to
include and compile netfilter in the kernel. However I will take a look at it.
I have searched and found that this is not the first time that this discussion
has raised:
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0212.0/1128.html
Really I am 100% in accordance with this:
===
I still don't see why an address that is
-=ASSIGNED TO AN INTERFACE=- should be responded to on a completely
different interface... if we wanted the ip address to be assigned to the
system, there should be a pseudo interface that will work on any of the
interfaces attached. Why assign an address to an interface if it would work
just the same if you assigned it to the loopback adapter? Why would you
assign an address to the loopback adapter if you wanted it to be accessed
from the world?
===
Is "hiding" incompatible with any other feature?
