Yes, the packets will hit the pipe twice. Once at layer2 and once at layer3. You're not stopping the packets from passing through a pipe simply by leaving out a "layer2" from the rule. ether_input -> ipfw -> ip_input -> ipfw -> network stack > > > Isn't there a way to construct rules such that matching pkts hit the rule > > > only once? Write your ruleset appropriately, or stick "not layer2" on your pipe rules. --- Jon Simola <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | "In the near future - corporate networks Systems Administrator | reach out to the stars, electrons and light ABC Communications | flow throughout the universe." -- GITS _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
