        I'm familiar with sdrop.  My question is in response to this post from
Will earlier today:

        By which I assume that sticky-drop drops the connection and also drops
future connections from the target IP.

        And then there's this posting by Will from 3/30/05:

        I did find some related preprocessor files in the
snort_inline-2.3.0-RC1 tree, but those files don't exist in the 2.4.3
tree, nor can I find any documentation on exactly what they do or how to
make use of them...

        Anyone know what this is about or if it works or is supported
somewhere?
