Ok, slightly off topic to this thread, but I still need to know from
that faq entry:
QUOTE
Please do not use the string match from patch-o-matic instead of
application proxy filtering. It would be defeated anytime by fragmented
packets (i.e. an HTTP request split on two TCP packets), 
ENDQUOTE

I thought iptables collects all fragments and reassembles the packet
before applying any rules? Or am I dead wrong here? 

Regs,
Sven
