How can sshuttle be used properly with FreeBSD (and with DNS) ?

I would like to use sshuttle (http://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle) on FreeBSD. I have it working for TCP connections, but it does not properly tunnel DNS requests. The documentation for sshuttle says that ipfw forward rules will not properly forward UDP packets, and so when it runs on FreeB

There are some concerns if we use this with devices that ixl supports: - The maximum fragment size is 16KB-1, which isn't a power of 2. - You can't get the maximum TSO size for ixl devices by multiplying the maximum number of fragments by the maximum size. Instead the number of fragments is AFAIK
