Depends on your OS. For Ultrix and SunOS 4, there's a flag in
sys/netatalk/ddp_input.c called ddp_firewall. The default value is 0.
If you set it to something else, it causes the kernel to not permit
packets to cross interfaces on the netatalk router. Linux and Solaris
don't have this flag, but it's pretty easy to add.
