Read this part of the thread, where I outline protocol flow (based on what the OP has stated about the protocol, which so far appears to be accurate): http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2008-October/thread.html Stateful rules will not solve this problem. The OP wants a feature that tells ipfw or pf "after the TCP handshake has completed, dynamically add a port forward for port X on interface Y to machine A on port Z; when the TCP session is FIN'd cleanly, or extinguishes, dynamically remove that port forward". -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
