This is a question about forwarding directed broadcasts.  I do know
this can dangerous.

Does the hardware destination have any effect on directed broadcast
forwarding?

Will the router only forward directed broadcasts that are directed
to one of its interfaces or will it also forward broadcasts that come
in with the hardward broadcast address (FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF) ?
