2. ICMP traffic in any direction

Sounds like a bad idea. Why would you do it?

Well, for example, if a host in $inside_net sends a UDP datagram to a
host in $dmz_net which generates an ICMP port unreachable message, I
want the host in $inside_net to actually receive the message. If pf is
THAT stateful and smart, then this rule is not necessary.

I believe that pf is clever enough to pass ICMP messages associated with a TCP or UDP connection for which it already has an established state without needing any specific additional rules.

BICBW.
