Usually RPF is just done with ACLs (ipfw) on FreeBSD. It can be a
simple as have a simple input list on each interface that only permits
sources that are known to be on that interface. Since most systems aren't
running a routing protocol, so there aren't many routes and/or they don't
change often, it is probably the simplest way of doing this.
