<p>If "norfc1918" and "dhcp" are both specified as

options on a given interface then RFC 1918
|
|
|
|

|
checking is occurring before DHCP checking. This
|

means that if a DHCP client broadcasts using an

|
|
RFC 1918 source address, then the firewall will
|
|
|
|
|
|
reject the broadcast (usually logging it). This

has two problems:</p>
