I run ipfilter on FreeBSD 6.1 (intel), using the RELENG_6_1 CVS branch. On the whole it's pretty solid, but sometimes traffic is blocked due to OOW errors, and the website www.activestate.com hangs unless I plug outside the firewall.

So I guess it's time to update the firewall software.

I could do an in-place update from FreeSD 6.1 to 6.2, but presumably the ipfilter in 6.2 is not really new enough. Or, are all the important fixes been included in RELENG_6_2 now?

So: What is the recommended way to update ipfilter on FreeBSD?


Thanks for any pointers!
