Hi, Gary, I absolutely don't want start any flame war about ipfw, pf etc. I would only like to tell you about my private experience: For times I tried to manage my various NAT/firewall/router setups with ipfw (it worked nearly every time but I was newer really sure that I did know, what I had done ;-|. Then, after OpenBSD's pf got to be adapted for FreeBSD standard kernel, it was all clear for me. There is an excelent doc about pf, which answers all questions and gives some good examples: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/index.html It is written by OpenBSD folks for OpenBSD but fits for FreeBSD without changes. Good luck, Pavel Jordak. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
