      Hello there

      I just gave pfsense (1.2.2) a try and am very happy with the product. Great work!

      While playing around trying this and that, I noticed it is possible to configure the interfaces with an illegal IP address, e.g. network address (192.168.0.0/24, 172.16.16.0/24 et cetera). And box does - with an according rule - answer to ICMP echo requests to this configured IP address as well, when it receives such.

      Would be nice, if IP address / subnetmask are checked for being legitimate, warn and/or prevent configuration accordingly.
