you need to slightly change the behaviour or the existing stack in quite a
number of places to handle a forwarded packet.
Sorry for catching up with the thread so late, I was without Internet
connection for the last couple of days.
Thanks for all the replies so far, I've got just one more question: is
it correct that pf (as loadable module) has this forward (aka
route-to) functionality without needing the kernel recompile? If so,
it might be that final push for me to switch from ipfw to pf.
Regards,
I can't answer for pf.. this is the ipfw mailing list. :-)
If they do have the same functionality then they will need the
same changes. If they do something different (e.g. changing the
packet) then they may be able to do a subset of the same thing.
