A Weird one

My firewall/router NATs my external addresses to my internal addresses (it is
a Cisco 2621 - a fairly substantial router for a home system, and it
certainly can handle what I'm asking it to do).  Inside, I have 3 class-C's,
outside I have a /28.  The servers are all NATed 1:1, so they have an inside
and an outside address.  But my router makes all that transparent...

The problem is still very strange, as "cdcc rtt" works perfectly on one box
running BSDi and not on another running FreeBSD 4.10.

======================

In another window on the same machine:

Note that only 3 machines were polled!  On my other machine, there is a
shitstorm of UDP packets on port 6277.  I'm stumped - what debugging can I
turn on to find this?  If I do "cdcc -ddddd rtt" I see nothing different
from a plain old "cdcc rtt".
