# interface will be copied to the copy-iface interface. If 'tap' is set, the
# copy is complete. If 'ips' is set, the packet matching a 'drop' action
# will not be copied.
# To specify the OS as the copy-iface (so the OS can route packets, or forward
# to a service running on the same machine) add a plus sign at the end
# (e.g. "copy-iface: eth0+"). Don't forget to set up a symmetrical eth0+ -> eth0
# for return packets. Hardware checksumming must be *off* on the interface if
# using an OS endpoint (e.g. 'ifconfig eth0 -rxcsum -txcsum -rxcsum6 -txcsum6' for FreeBSD
# or 'ethtool -K eth0 tx off rx off' for Linux).
#copy-mode: tap
#copy-iface: eth3
# Set to yes to disable promiscuous mode
