Yes.  It gets less activity than some projects as it is very stable.

If you can define what is "broke."  A statement of "This does not work 
the way I want it to" is not broke...

Um...  No...  I do have it working on a pipe with one static and one 
dynamic IP, and it magically seems to find it when it changes, so your 
statement is incorrect. I have not tested it with two dynamic IPs, 
however, so I do not know if there is an issue.  I do know, however, 
that your trouble report is not totally correct.

Good to know.

There may be a few other choices, but whatever makes you happy

I am sure there are.  Some of them may even be working with m0n0wall. 
However, your trouble report is missing a lot of information we might 
need to help you.  Like all of it.

Also, attacking the devs on there own list is not a good way to endear 
you to them.
