Eh? The firewalled status applies to the local servent, not per connection. The status is tested when the first host is connected, and reset when the last host drops. It is also re-tested once per hour, in case their firewalled status changes.
Actually, I set the firewalled status per connection. Reason being if the Gnutella client is used within a larger network. For example, a school campus. It may be that incoming connections from the Internet are firewalled, but local connections (from dorm to dorm) are not. It's just a small thing though, but it would prevent any unnecesary "push" requests, as we all have noticed can sometimes not work as advertised among different versions (different developers).
