What we did, when demonstrating the prototype, was to just knock holes 
through for the appropriate ports. Unfortunately, if memory serves me 
correctly, you can't do that for OSPF because it needs to use its own 
specific IP protocol number.

Whilst with time we could probably augment the existing Windows FEA 
support to use the Windows Firewall APIs to open the appropriate hole in 
the firewall configs automatically, this is unlikely to appear as a 
feature until the XORP 2.0 train.
