Summary: In Firewall Log, add Discard(No Logging) for
packets.

Initial Comment:
On my local ISP I get about 5000 packets per day from one
source one type of packet (port 67 -> 68 bootp
broadcast).  The ISP doesn't even want to know and it
produces a lot of lines in the firewall log.
Could a checkbox or similar bet setup to create a
discard-nolog rule for these packets?

This is not a feature request.

There was a FAQ entry that I put in the wiki about 3 years
ago that was 
labeled something like:

My ISP is filling my logs with BOOTP packets. What can I
do?

The last time I looked, that entry was no longer in the FAQ,
but it should be. 
Maybe someone has an old copy and can put it back in. (or
maybe it found it's 
way back while I wasn't looking)
