Also, a point of note (in case anyone else is running the same / similar 
setup).  I was back on the sock firmware (v2.04.4) when I found that 
option.  I re-flashed it with the Satori firmware (v2.07.1.7sv), and had 
the problem again.  I went to Security -> Firewall, and the option to 
block / unblock ident requests was no longer there.
